Grafted Plants

Strong Roots
Strong Plants

At Tri-Hishtil, our grafted plants assist growers of crops like watermelon, tomato, eggplant, and peppers in several aspects. These benefits include: a reduction in crop rotation measures, increased vigor of the plants (and subsequently the actual yield), a reduction in susceptibility to soil-borne diseases, and the potential to reuse farmland restricted from fumigation use due to regulations.

Josh Freeman on Grafted Plants vs. Fusarium
Josh Freeman on Grafted Plants vs. Fusarium

Josh Freeman was able to see both sides of the coin on the same farm yesterday. On a positive note, the grafted plants really took off this week and are now larger than the non-grafted. On the negative side, conditions have been favorable and we’re seeing Fusarium wilt less than 30 days post planting. Certainly not a positive start for the non-grafted plants so early in the season.

What is Plant Grafting?

Grafting is a very detailed procedure whereby a growth booster (the rootstock) is combined with a promise (the scion). The actual grafting of vegetables with soft tissue stems is an extremely sensitive process, but results in a strong plant with resistance against specific soil-borne diseases.
