This is due to the limited cultivated area, intensive cultivation, and increasing stress leading to problems that negatively affect production. While the investigations for determining the accurate fertilization amount of the grafted plants are still scarce. Therefore, this experiment was conducted in a private farm located in Badr city, El-Behera governorate, Egypt, to evaluate the performance of non-grafted (control) and grafted cantaloupe plants ( Cucumis melo var. cantaloupenses, cv. Marella F1 hybrid) onto four rootstock cultivars (Cobalt, Ferro, Star, and 6001) then fertilized with nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) at rates of 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140% of these nutrients recommendations for cantaloupe fertilization during the two successive growing seasons of 2018 and 2019. The results indicated that grafting cantaloupe plants onto the tested rootstocks had promoted a higher vegetative growth manifested as plant length, leaves number, shoot fresh and dry weight, stem diameter, and root dry weight, as well as raising leaves content of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and the greenness index (chlorophyll readings, SPAD) along with boosting the average fruit weight, and early and total yield than the control when all were fertilized by any of the applied fertilization rates. Worthy, rootstocks of Cobalt and Ferro provided the greatest superiority in all investigated growth and fruit yield characteristics of the cantaloupe plant through fertilizing by the 140% NPK fertilization rate.","PeriodicalId":40934,"journal":{"name":"EGYPTIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY SCIENCE","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46596451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The family contains about 3000 species that are adapted to different geographic conditions (Rodan et al., 2020). The plant is one of the most important vegetables after potatoes and tomatoes (Chapman, 2019). The production of eggplant in the world is 54 MT, which about 90% of produced in Asian countries such as China, India, and Iran (Wei et al., 2020). The Eggplant fruits are rich in different phytochemical components such as aspartic acid, tropane, flavonoids, lanosterol, glycoalkaloids, histidine, oxalic acid, solasodine, ascorbic acid, and tryptophan (Naeem and Ugur, 2019). These components make it useful for various pharmaceutical uses including anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic, and anti-platelet hypo-lipidemic (Naeem and Ugur, 2019). It provides a valuable amount of mineral compositions to the human body such as K, Na, C, P, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu (Quamruzzaman et al., 2020). Eggplant shows highly different diversity in growth habits and resistance to abiotic stresses. Although the plant is drought-tolerant, many characters such as yield and yield components, suffer from severe E (Solanum melongena L.) is one of the drought-tolerant vegetable crops, however, recently climate change has had a devastating impact on crop cultivation in many parts of Iran. The present research aimed to investigate the application of date straw mulches (DSM) and plastic mulches (PM) on yield and morphological and physiological characters of the plant under different crop water requirements. A split-split plot experiment using an RCB design with three replications in Rodan, Hormozgan, Iran at 2017. The three levels of crop water requirement (CWR), i.e. 40, 70, and 100%, the two levels of DSM (i.e. control and DSM), and the three levels of PM (i.e. 0, 100, and 120 cm in soil depths), were allocated in the main, sub and sub-sub plots, respectively. The results of the analysis of variance revealed that the tripleinteraction effects of the DSM, PM, and CWR were statically significant for all traits (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). However, none of the simple and interactions effects were not statically significant for leaf length and width. The results revealed that 40% of CWR reduced the yield by 49% compared with 100% CWR. Also, the application of the DSM and PM alleviated the deleterious effects of water deficit. Finally, the application of the mulches is recommended for eggplant in areas affected by water shortages.","PeriodicalId":40934,"journal":{"name":"EGYPTIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY SCIENCE","volume":"48 1","pages":"37-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45179657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
