Abstract

The research was realized in 2014, in the Department of Horticultural Cultures in Protected Spaces at the Horting Institute of Bucharest, Romania. This aimed to study the fusion capacity of some cucurbits grafted by different techniques (one-cotyledon [1], cleft - V shaped [2] and by approach [3]) in order to emphasise the best grafting method according to survival rate data. The experience was conducted on two F1 hybrids (Cucurbita type) as rootstocks - 'TZ148' [T] and 'Shintoza' [S] and three F1 hybrids as scions - 'Mirabelle' [M] (cucumber), 'Vasko' [V] (watermelon) and 'Gina'[G] (melon). The best grafting method was with one-cotyledon, followed by cleft (V shaped) and by approach. The grafting method is very important for a successfull grafting.
