Empador F1 is a hybrid rootstock designed for grafting eggplants and tomatoes. It is compatible with all known hybrids of these crops, making it a universal solution for improving plant quality. A key feature of this rootstock is its high growth vigor in the latter half of the vegetative period, which is especially important for continuous cropping, ensuring stable development and maintaining plant viability.
Plants grafted onto Empador F1 exhibit increased disease resistance and a more robust root system, which contributes to improved nutrition and stronger plant structure. As a result, individual fruit weight increases by 10-30 grams compared to non-grafted plants. Importantly, using this rootstock does not affect fruit quality, excluding negative phenomena such as cracking.
Additionally, Empador F1 promotes more generative and balanced development of the scion, positively impacting yield and growth vigor. The rootstock demonstrates resistance to a range of diseases, including tobacco mosaic virus (ToMV), fusarium (Fol), verticillium (Va), and nematodes (Ma, Mi, Mj). These characteristics make Empador F1 a reliable choice for enhancing productivity and plant health under intensive cultivation conditions.
