ADER 3.3.7: Optimisation of grafting in the most widely grown vegetable species, in order to improve productivity and fruit quality under increasing biotic and abiotic stress

  • Implementation period: 2015-2018

Project objectives

  • Obtaining genetic material in pepper, tomato and aubergine with a view to optimising grafting in the most widely grown vegetable species, in order to improve productivity and fruit quality under increasing biotic and abiotic stress.

Results

  • Production and supply of the genetic material used (scions and rootstocks), in accordance with the subject matter of the project;
  • Testing of scion–rootstock compatibility in the vegetable species studied (pepper, aubergine and tomato) and evaluation of their performance under protected cultivation.
