Abstract
Limited comparative research exists on evaluating the performance of tomato rootstocks under different growing methods, resulting in growers facing challenges when deciding which rootstock and growing method to use for improved yield. The effect of growing methods (scion of a single stem or double stems and non-grafted plant as the control) and rootstock cultivars (Goldbac, SVTX6258, and Booster) on the yield and quality of tomatoes grown in a plastic tunnel and a shade net structure was investigated. The splice grafting method was followed. In a plastic tunnel experiment, grafting and rootstock cultivar did not significantly affect the total soluble solids (TSS), pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) of the tomato juice, as well as percentage weight loss, yield, and fruit firmness. However, the Booster rootstock with a scion of 2 stems had high fruit Mg, K, P, and Fe contents, while the Goldbac rootstock with a scion of 1 stem and 2 stems had high fruit Ca and Fe contents compared to other treatments. The Goldbac and Booster rootstocks grafted to a scion of 2 stems had a high marketable yield. In a shade net experiment, the Booster rootstock with a scion of 2 stems had a high early harvest and total yield of tomatoes, followed by the Goldbac rootstock with a scion of 2 stems. Higher incidences of fruit cracking were noticed on the Booster rootstock grafted with a scion of a single stem. Generally, grafted plants on Booster and Goldbac had improved Mg, K, and P contents, unlike SVTX6258 with a scion of 1 stem. The Booster rootstock with a scion of 2 stems had significantly higher Mg, K, and P contents, while the sodium (Na) fruit content was high on the SVTX6258 rootstock with a scion of 1 stem. Grafting did not significantly affect fruit physiological disorders, weight loss, and TSS, or pH and EC of tomato juice. Grafting with a scion of two stems at the seedling stage significantly improved the tomato fruit mineral content and the total and marketable yield in a plastic tunnel and a shade net structure.
