Abstract:
... Grafting is a method of asexual plant propagation that joins stems of two different plants so as to live together and grow as one plant. Normally grafting has been largely applied to propagate trees that are not able to root easily by cuttings and whose own root system is not strong enough or resistant to several soil-borne pathogens. Now, grafting is used for vegetable crops, such as solanaceous ...

Abstract:
... Sudden wilt of melons induced by Monosporascus cannonballus is a worldwide problem, mainly in arid and semi-arid regions. Soil disinfestation by fumigation with methyl bromide is a common and very effective treatment for disease control. However, methyl bromide is expected to be banned from use within the next 5 to 10 years; therefore, alternative measures for disease management are urgently neede ...
