Cuttings and grafting in rootstocks of tomato

When performing in plants by grafting methods slit at the time of grafting is discarded cup rootstock. In this context, the aim of this work is to evaluate the technique of cutting in tomato plants that exhibit characteristics for use as rootstocks for tomato grafting and attachment provided by clones Cup compared to rootstocks propagated by seeds . For execution of the work, two experiments were conducted in the agricultural year 2013, for the first experiment was rooting three rootstocks: 1) wild species Solanum pennellii 'LA716', 2) access mini-tomato 6889; and 3) Witness (tomato Santa Cruz Kada®) for the second experiment we evaluated the handle grafting rootstocks propagated by cuttings, compared to the same propagated by seeds. For the first experiment, treatments rootstocks access mini-tomato 6889 and witness, provided the greatest percentage of cuttings. For the second experiment, to evaluate the variable takes grafting, it was found that tomato rootstocks propagated by cuttings provide a good grip grafting the same or similar propagated by seeds.
