Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different rootstocks on yield characteristics and resist-ance capability against to Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt and Meloidogyne incognita in pepper cultivation. 'California Wonder' and 'Kandil' bell pepper varieties were grafted on 'Snooker F 1 ', 'Dro F 1 ', NGS and NGC rootstocks in the experiment. Nongrafted and self-grafted plants were used as control. Grafted plants were cultivated in open field conditions with sterilized growth media. The experiment was conducted in ran-domized split plots design with three replications. Yield was increased significantly by rootstocks in in-fected plots and it was higher than control plants in uninfected plots. The highest yield was obtained from 'Kandil' × 'Dro F 1 ' combination in Fusarium oxysporium experiment, 'Kandil' × 'NGS' combination in Verti-cillium dahlia experiment and 'California Wonder' × 'Snooker...
