Effect of the Harmony Rootstock on Yield and Qualiy `Flame Seedless' Table Grape

In the Northwest of Mexico, grape is one of the main crops, specially for table grape (18,000 ha), the `Flame seedless' is one of the important cultivars. Some of the main problems present in this region is the shortage and high cost of the water, nematode and salinity. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of `Harmony' rootstock on `Flame seedless' for table grape. This study was caried in the INIFAP Caborca during 2001 cycle and consisted of ten plants of `Flame Seedless' on `Harmony' rootstock and ten control plants under the drip irrigation system, the statistical design used was completely randomized. The results obtained observe not negative effect for the `Harmony' rootstock on the phenology of `Flame seedless' (budbreak, flowering and color develpment). The effect was positive since harvest date advanced in 4 days (4 June), where as the control harvest was in 8 June, as far as color were no differences, because both treatments colored well, as far as quality this was better on rootstock than that was not grafted (greather berry size and cluster uniformity). The yield was 1,200 boxes/ha when we used rootstock, 335 boxes more than control and obtaining a saving cost of 100% in the nematode control and 30% in water consumption.

Yield And Quality

The region of Caborca, Sonora, Mexico, is one of the main area producers of table grapes, in particular the cultivar Red Globe. However, the main problems in the region include shortage and high cost of water, nematode infestation, and salinity. The objective of the present research was to determine the behavior of `Red Globe' cultivated on the rootstocks Harmony and Freedom. This study was carried out in the INIFAP Caborca research station in the year 2002, and consisted of 10 plants for treatment (on each rootstock). When water was low, a drip irrigation system was used. There was a completely randomized statistical design. We observed no differences among the two rootstocks in the different phonological stages (budbreak, flowering, and harvest time). The results indicated statistical differences between the rootstocks. Yield was higher on Freedom rootstock, with 2120 boxes/ha (boxes of 10 kg), an average of 470 boxes/ha more than on Harmony rootstock. Freedom rootstock also improved the quality of the grape (better color, bigger size of berry, and clusters, and the foliage was also more developed with this rootstock). In both rootstocks, nematode control was 100%, 30% in water consumption, and no fertilizer was used.

A field experiment was carried out in the field of the College of Agriculture / University of Wasit, located on longitude 45o 50o 33.5o East and latitude 32o 29o 49.8o North, in Spring season of the agricultural season 2019, in order to estimate the water consumption of potato crop using SWRT technology and under the drip irrigation system. The experiment was designed according to Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and four treatments that include of the SWRT treatment (the use of plastic films under the plant root area in an engineering style), and the treatment of vegetal fertilizer (using Petmos), organic fertilizer (sheep manure), and the control treatment . Potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L.) var. Burin was planted for spring season on 10/2/2019 at the soil depth of 5-10 cm. The highest reference water consumption for the potato crop during the season was calculated by Najeeb Kharufa, which was 663.03 mm. The highest actual water consumption for the potato crop during the season for the control treatment was 410.1 mm. The results showed increase in the values of the crop coefficient (Kc) in the stages of tubers formation and tubers filling stage as compared to the vegetative and ripening stages, ranged from 1.37-1.92 for the two stages of tubers formation and tubers filling. The SWRT treatment gave the highest water use efficiency during the season, was 3.46 kg m-3 .

Grapes are one of the more important fruit crops in northwest Mexico, mainly dedicated for the production of table grape, with the most important cultivar being `Superior Seedless'. The shortage and high cost of extraction of the water, infestation of nematodes, and salinity, are the main problems that limit the production in the region. The objective of the present investigation was to determine the productivity of `Superior Seedless' grafted on the rootstocks Harmony and Freedom. The present study was carried out in the INIFAP-Caborca Research Station in 2005, and consisted of 15 plants for treatment grafted to each rootstock. We used `Superior Seedless' in their own foot as control; watering was under a drip-irrigation system, and we used a completely randomized statistical design, where each plant was the experimental unit. Statistical differences were not observed in production among the two rootstocks (Freedom and Harmony), which yielded 2225 and 2112 boxes/ha, respectively (boxes of 10 kg) and an average of 1000 boxes/ha over the control. The quality (berry size and cluster weight) of the fruit on both rootstocks was superior to the control. They were no differences in the sugar content and the phonological stages (bud-break, flowering, and harvest time). In both rootstocks, we obtained 100% nematode control, a 35% savings of water consumption, and a 40% savings in fertilizer use.

Pyrenochaeta Terrestris

The producers areas of onion in Mexico, are affected by the existence and increment of pathogens organisms of the soil like the fungus Pyrenochaeta terrestris, This problem increased its presence and damages due to the consecutive establishment of this vegetable year with year on the same soils. The fungus is activated and this disease developed when the soil temperature is increased. The disease infection of the plants causes rot and death of roots and small bulbs whit no commercial value, and low yields. According that the objective of the present research was to evaluate three treatments for the control of this organism pathogen: The experiment was carried out on INIFAP-CIRNO Experimental Station on a severally infested soil whit this fungus. The sow date was on 6 Jan. 2002, in this trial we used “local” variety. The treatments evaluated were Trichoderma (30 L·ha-1), Humega 8% (180 L·ha-1), Isofert 25 (400 L·ha-1) and a control (without treatment). The products were applied using the drip irrigation system. The results indicate that the treatments with Trichoderma and Humega 8% presented the lower percent of disease roots with 33% and those of more incidence were the control and Isofert 25 with 46% and 47% of disease roots, respectively. The results show 13% efficiency with the use of Trichoderma with respect to control; however this treatment did not affect the bulb weight and yield, control treatment obtained the greatest bulb weight and yield with 212 g for bulb and 80.9 t·ha-1 against 196 g and 71.9 t·ha-1, respectively, of the Trichoderma, which was seemingly a secondary negative effect in decrement the yield.

Grape is one of the more important crops in northwestern Mexico (Sonora), especially for table grape. Although raisin production is a good option, it must be efficient and productive due to the problems of shortage and high cost of water, salinity, and nematodes. The objective of this research was the evaluation of `Fiesta Seedless' on Freedom rootstock for raisin production with different plantation densities. This study was carried out in the INIFAP Caborca research station in 2002. Four plant separations (1.0, 1.5, 1.7, and 2.0 m) were evaluated on furrows 4 m apart. Plants were grafted on Freedom rootstock in 1999. We also considered a control treatment (4 × 2 m on its own feet) and fertilized it with 80N–60P–80K. All experiments were carried out under the espalier training system with double crossbeam; watering was under a drip-irrigation system; and the statistical design was completely randomized. Statistical differences between the evaluated spacings were not observed, but all densities surpassed the control. Greatest yields were obtained with 1.5- and 1.7-m spacings, at 6.1 and 6.0 t·ha-1 of raisin, respectively, which were 2.2 t·ha-1 more than the control (3.8 t·ha-1). There were no differences in sugar content and harvest time, since all treatmens, including the control, were harvested at 24 °Brix. Freedom rootstock had 100% nematode control, 30% less water consumption, and was not fertilized.
