Grafting
When grafted, it’s recommended to pinch on the second true leaf to minimize potential incidents of blind heads. Grafting on DR0141TX, Maxifort and Multifort for long crops in warm regions is recommended. For short crops, grafting is not possible; however, DRTH5014 lacks resistance to Verticillium, which can be a problem. In this case, DR0138TX is a good grafting option for short crops.
Fruit Fall
Avoid the high humidity associated with heat stress during the low-light season by properly managing your heating system and maintaining an active climate. Under the same conditions, irrigation and electrical conductivity may interfere negatively in the instance of fruit fall. Regular, timely leaf removal does help minimize fruit fall and quality issues.

Performance may vary from location to location and from year to year, as local growing, soil and weather conditions may vary. Growers should evaluate data from multiple locations and years whenever possible and should consider the impacts of these conditions on the grower’s fields.
Any recommendations in this article are based upon glasshouse observations and feedback received from a limited number of trials and locations. These recommendations should be considered as one reference point and should not be substituted for the professional opinion of agronomists, entomologists or other relevant experts evaluating specific conditions.
