Rootstock Seeds
Available for melon, cucumber, eggplant, tomato and pepper.
Dali
Melon and cucumber rootstocks
Hybrid melon rootstock especially suitable for grafting cucumber and melon, with a strong root system, able to withstand soil problems resulting from diseases such as vascular fusariosis and physiological disorders such as melon sudden death.
Its high vigor affords excellent behavior with early transplants and damaged soils.
Very good germination performance, as well as high affinity and easy grafting.
HR: Fusarium (Fom 0, 1, 2). Alta tolerancia a Monosporascus cannonballus (muerte súbita).
Tasso
Cucumber Rootstocks
Hybrid variety especially suitable for cucumber grafting. Supplies vigor and health to the crop throughout its growing cycle. These characteristics make it especially recommended for transplants during unsuitable temperatures, in late fall and winter, as well as in spring-summer.
Medium-to-large hypocotyl, easy and quick grafting, with excellent affinity and good tolerance to seedling collapse. Planting the rootstock in a seedbed 1-2 days after the cucumber is recommended for proper healing.
Beo
Eggplant (aubergine) rootstocks.
Interspecific hybrid that is very compatible with varieties of cultivated eggplant. The seed has high germination vigor and uniformity, making the seedbed work much easier.
It offers a strong root system providing high mechanical resistance to different soil-borne pathogens, as well as correct absorption of nutrient solution during cold periods.
Montale
Tomato rootstocks.
Interspecific hybrid tomato for tomato grafting, highly compatible with commercial varieties.
Features high vigor, providing a strong root system that facilitates growing in difficult or tired ground over long cycles. Able to maintain uniform fruit size.
HR: ToMV, N, V, F2, For (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. radicis-lycopersici), Pyrenochaeta licopersici (Corky root)
26 PX 1541
Hybrid pepper with excellent affinity to commercial pepper varieties. Has excellent germination and uniform vigor in the nursery; sowing should take place at the same time as the grafting variety.
Strong, vigorous plant able to maintain commercial fruit size during the whole growing cycle, including the uppermost parts of the plant in mid-winter and in long cycle periods.
IR: Phytophthora capsici, Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) y Meloidogyne incognita (N)
Glossary
HR
High Resistance. Plant varieties that highly restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen under normal pest or pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible varieties. These plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure.
IR
Intermediate Resistance. Plant varieties that restrict the growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may exhibit a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to high resistant varieties. Intermediately resistant plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown under similar environmental conditions and/or pest or pathogen pressure.
Bl
Bremia lactucae
Physiological races Bl:1-15 of Bremia lactucae (downy mildew) in lettuce are agronomical no longer relevant in Europe, as to the best of our knowledge these races are no longer observed in practice in Europe nowadays. Therefore reference to the races Bl:1-15 is no longer made in resistance claims with regard to B. lactucae. From May 1st 2014 onwards, the resistance claim of a variety refers only to Bl:16-31.
P.s.: Although race Bl:19 is to the best of our knowledge also no longer observed in practice nowadays, reference to the race Bl:19 will continue to be made in resistance claims with regard to B. lactucae to simplify the notation of the resistance claim. In practice this means that for example Bl:16-31 should be understood as Bl:16-18,20-31.
