Abstract
This study was undertaken at the Department of Horticulture and Agricultural Biotechnology, Yezin Agricul-tural University from 2014 to 2016 to evaluate the effects of different rootstocks on the performance of grafted tomato and to determine the suitable rootstock for tomato production. Three rootstocks of local varieties: eggplant (Khayan pa dae tha - ခရမ်းပဒေသာ), tomato (Kyaught Me Gaung Sein- ဒကျောက်မဲဒခါင်းစိမ်း) and hot pepper (Yemethin Moe Htaung- ရမည်းသင်းမိုးဒောင်) were grafted with commercial tomato cultivar (Platinum 701). Results indicated that all tested local type rootstocks are suitable for tomato production since the grafting success rate is over 70%. Leaf emergence rate (Plastochron day-1) was faster and plants were taller in the grafted plants than non-grafted plants. Increased photosynthesis efficiency with higher chlorophyll content leads to enhanced plant growth and reproductive developments of the grafted tomato (0.81 and 58.7) compared with the non-grafted tomato (0.75 and 52.3). Marketable yields were also higher in the grafted tomato (4146.1 g plant-1) than non-grafted tomato (2491.7 g plant-1). Among the grafted plants, those on eggplant rootstock produced the highest marketable fruit yield (5071.4g plant-1) followed by the ones on local tomato rootstock (3894.3 g plant-1) and local hot pepper rootstock (3472.6 g plant-1). Non-grafted plants showed the lowest marketable yield (2491.7g plant-1). These results suggested that graft-ing on suitable rootstock has positive effects on plant growth and fruit yield of tomato and local eggplant rootstock was the most suitable for tomato grafting.
