Distriution of the added cost (Rivard, et al., 21) Additional yield (l/plant) required to make reakeven: How many more fruit grafted plants could produce? Disease Management Premium price of grafted plants is more affordale when selling high-value tomatoes (Rysin and Louws, 215) Vigor Bacterial wilt Scion: Celerity, Mountain Fresh (determinate) Rootstock: Dai Honmei, RST-4-15-T Fusarium wilt Scion: heirloom tomato cv.
