This study was carried out at private farm in Kha(absho and Zian district,
Oakah/ia governorate. Egypt during the summer seasons for two years (2003 . 2004)
to study the effect of grafting of two commercial tomato cultivars (Super marmande
and Castle rock) on two tomato rootsfocks (Eldorado F, and Helper-M F,) by using the
tongue approach grafting method to avoid Soil borne diseases and Nematodes and
increasing the yield.
The results indicated that all grafted plants of two commercial tomato cultivars
Super marmande and Castle rock on two different rootstocks Eldorado F, and He/per-
M. F, gave the highest significant values for early yield and total yield per plot and had
the lowest infected p < /em>lants with Nematodes and Fusarium.
Generally the best grafting was Castel rock on He/per-M. F, rootstock followed by
Super marmande on Eldorado F, rootstock (or early yield. mid yield and total yield per
plot. But all graftings gave increased disease tolerance (or Fusarium and Nematodes.
