This study aimed to investigate the effect of different rootstocks on the yield and quality of eggplant cv. ‘Madonna’ in soilless pot culture in an unheated polyethylene greenhouse. The eggplant was grafted onto several rootstocks, including tomato rootstocks Optifort (O) and Emperador (E), and four Solanum rootstocks; Solanum grandiflorum × Solanum melongena (SH), Solanum torvum (ST), Solanum melongena × Solanum integrifolium (SI), and Solanum integrifolium (A) compared with self-grafted (SG) and self-rooted (SR) as control. The results showed that the total marketable yield significantly increased by grafting onto ST (3.94 kg/plant), SH (3.36 kg/plant), and A (3.34 kg/plant) relative to SR (1.65 kg/plant). The chromatics characters of skin and pulp are slightly influenced by rootstocks. Our findings confirmed that grafting eggplant decreased firmness (except SH) of the flesh. Fruit harvested from the Optifort/Madonna combination had the rounded shape, lowest firmness, and Brix value, while the lowest oxidation potential was observed in this combination. The highest seed number was observed in SH/Madonna and SI/Madonna combinations. During the sensory evaluation, the lightest fruit flesh was found in SR, ST, and O, and the sweetest taste was observed in fruits harvested from ST rootstock.

Abstract Availability of nutrients in soil plays an important role in the productivity and quality of flowers in chrysanthemum. A set of novel biofilm inoculants- Anabaena-Azotobacter, Anabaena-Pseudomonas fluorescens (An-Psf) and Anabaena-Trichoderma (An-Tr) were applied as carrier based dry formulation or soil drench and their performance compared in two varieties of chrysanthemum (White Star and Zembla), in a climate-controlled greenhouse. Both the An-Psf and (An-Tr) inoculants enhanced glomalin related soil proteins in the rhizosphere of White Star, while in terms of polysaccharide content of soil, both these inoculants performed better in Zembla variety. Significant increases in the availability of selected macro and micronutrients in rhizosphere soil samples, in both chrysanthemum varieties were recorded, particularly when the inoculants were applied as soil drench. Principal Component analysis illustrated the significant interaction among soil and plant parameters, more specifically, the distinct effect of the inoculants, as compared to the application of carrier alone or control treatment. This investigation demonstrated the varietal effects on soil biological activities and significance of mode of application of microbial inoculants in influencing plant growth and rhizospheric metabolic activities.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência de dois volumes de diferentes substratos e níveis de sombreamento sobre a qualidade de mudas de copaíba. O experimento foi conduzido por 130 dias em DBC casualizados no esquema fatorial 2 x 5, sendo avaliados dois volumes (180 e 280 cm³) dos substratos Bioplant®; 70% vermiculita + 30% casca de arroz carbonizada; 40% vermiculita + 30% casca de arroz carbonizada + 30% fibra de côco; 50% vermiculita + 30% casca de arroz carbonizada + 20% areia; e 70% vermiculita + 15% casca de arroz carbonizada + 15% vermicomposto. Essas dez combinações foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em quatro blocos com diferentes intensidades luminosas: 0, 30, 50 e 70% de sombreamento. O uso de 180 cm³ de substrato foi suficiente para produzir mudas de copaíba com bom desenvolvimento e índice de qualidade. Os substratos 70V+30CA, 40V+30CA+30FC, 50V+30CA+20A, 70V+15CA+15VC apresentaram-se superiores em relação ao Bioplant® para produção de mudas da espécie em estudo. Os resultados demonstraram que as mudas de copaíba comportaram-se de forma distinta em relação aos níveis de sombreamento avaliados, demonstrando possuírem grande plasticidade adaptativa.AbstractQuality of copaiba seedlings produced in two volumes of substrates and shading levels. This research aimed to evaluate the influence of two volumes of substrate and levels of shading on seedling quality of copaiba. The experiment was conducted for 130 days in a randomized block design in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme, we evaluated two volumes (180 e 280 cm³) of the five following substrates: Bioplant®, 70% vermiculite + 30% carbonized rice hulls, 40% vermiculite + 30% carbonized rice hulls + 30% coir, 50% vermiculite + 30% carbonized rice hulls + 20% sand and 70% vermiculite + 15% carbonized rice hulls + 15% vermicompost residue textiles. These ten combinations were randomly distributed in four blocks, accordingly to the following distinct brightness: 0, 30, 50 and 70 percentages of shading. The use of 180 cm³ substrate was enough to produce seedlings of copaiba with good development and quality index. The substrates 70V+30CA, 40V+30CA+30FC, 50V+30CA+20A, and 70V+15CA+15VC showed slight superiority over Bioplant® for seedlings of such species. The results revealed that the copaiba seedlings behaved differently in relation to shading levels evaluated, it demonstrates they have great adaptive plasticity.Keywords: Copaifera langsdorffii; production of seedlings; levels of brightness; containers.
