Abstract

The objective of this paper was to study the efficiency  of rootstock use on yield and nutritional dynamics of  macronutrients in bell pepper. Fascinato and Janette  commercial varieties of bell pepper were used and a  commercial Terrano rootstock. The experiment was  carried out in a shade mesh system in Delicias, Chihuahua,  Mexico during the production cycle of 2012. The results  indicate that the variety-rootstock Fascinato-Terrano  and Janette-Terrano produced the highest fruit yields,  53.47% and 49.40%, respectively, in relation to the same  ungrafted varieties. Also, Fascinato grafted with Terrano,  showed the best nutritional status that contributed to the  maximum yield, assuming that the use of rootstocks could  be a viable technique in the sustainable horticulture of  the future.
