Abstract
The partial resistance of pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima), hybrid squash (C. maxima * C. moschata), fig leaf gourd (C. ficifolia), grilled linear pumpkin, Luffa (Luffa aegyptiaca), two cucurbits nuts Khoy (C. pepo) and yellow cucurbit nuts against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp < em>. radicis-cucumerinum (Forc) causal agent of fungal root and stem rot disease of cucumber evaluated and compared with royal cucumber. The results showed that, fig leaf gourd, pumpkin, hybrid pumpkin, two cucurbits nuts Khoy 1 and 2 are resistant, Luffa, yellow nut pumpkin and grilled linear pumpkin were moderately resistant and royal cucumber was sensitive. The mean percentage of disease severity in cucumber royal (control) was 80%. The lowest disease severity was observed in hybrid pumpkin 24.16%, pumpkin 25% and fig leaf 25.83%. The results showed that graftted hybrid pumpkin with disease severity of 18.6% was the lowest and non-grafted cucumber with 82% was the highest. In terms of rootstock effect on dry root weight, pumpkin with 5.3 g had the maximum and non-grafted cucumber with 0.73 g show the lowest root weight. non-grafted cucumbers with 1.73 kg per plant were the least and cucumbers grafted on hybrid pumpkin 5.7 kg, pumpkin 1.5 kg and fig leaf gourd 5.03 kg showed the highest yield per plant. The results showed that grafting of cucumber on the cucurbit rootstocks reduced the percentage of disease severity caused by Forc.
