現代農業中葫蘆科嫁接在以色列的經驗介紹 - 農業知識入口網

 Grafted vegetables have been cultivated in eastern Asia for decades , but their adoption in the western world has only begun since the banning of the fumigant methyl bromide in 2005 by the Montreal Protocol . The primary motive for using grafted plants is to avoid damage caused by soilborne pests and pathogens in situations in which genetic or chemical approaches for disease management are not available . Grafting a susceptible scion onto a resistant rootstock provides a resistant plant without the need for a prolonged breeding program. Furthermore, grafting plants allows for a more rapid response to the appearance of new races of a pathogen, and provides a less expensive and more flexible solution for controlling soilborne diseases than breeding new resistant cultivars. In addition, grafted plants may contribute to enhanced tolerance to abiotic stresses, more efficient water and nutrient use, and improved fruit yield and quality.
