Agriculture in Turkey Turkey is one of the rare countries in terms of agriculture. Quality fruits and vegetables can be grown in good conditions. Through Its suitable for the production, productive with large agricultural areas geographical position ecological differences in the various regions

Agriculture in Turkey Turkey ranks second in Europe with 62.000 hectares for the presence of greenhouse. Under protective cover production, especially in the Mediterranean coast are intensive. Vegetable production are concentrated under protected cultivation in the Antalya region in winter, in outdoor in summer in Bursa.
Agriculture in Turkey Most of the grown vegetable crops under protected cultivation in Turkey Approximately 45 % of the seed of hybrid varieties are foreign origin in Turkey.

Grafted seedling in Turkey
Projects on Grafted Plants of BATEM Batı Akdeniz Agricultural Research Institute (BATEM) played major role on increasing of using grafted seedling by its international project Phase Out MeBr MeBr was one of the traditional, preferred options for controlling soilborne pathogens in horticulture. Two demonstration projects on alternatives had been undertaken with funding from the Multilateral Fund by UNIDO and the World Bank, which helped determine the alternatives most suited to Turkish conditions, an investment project Phase out of MB for soil fumigation in protected horticulture and cut flower production in Turkey carried out with UNIDO as implementing agency in between 2003 and 2007.
Projects on Grafted Plants of BATEM Several study to investigate possible positive effects of grafting and use of different rootstocks on the fruit yield, characteristics and quality attributes of tomato, eggplant, pepper, watermelon and melon plants was carried out. The project has worked with model farms that agree to work with alternatives and implement them under commercial conditions.
Projects on Grafted Plants of BATEM Once the model farms are having success, a larger group of growers is supported with technical assistance and necessary materials (rootstock seedlings, plastic and others) so they can also implement the technique. An even larger group is monitored and offered technical assistance, to ensure dissemination and proper adoption of the alternatives. Overall, 48 model farms have participated in the grafting seedling technique; 2270 growers were supported and more than 12.000 people have been trained through the project on MB alternatives, where IPM and GAP were an essential part of training.

Projects on Grafted Plants of BATEM Yields in grafted eggplants increased by 25-30% in comparison to nongrafted plants. Notably the quality of the fruits in grafted plants was much higher than the quality of the fruits in non-grafted plants and they achieved better prices on market. The planting density (16,000-25,000 plants/ Ha) does not vary significantly due to the particular structure of the plant; however, some growers are finding it possible to leave grafted plants in production for several years. Losses from diseases and nematodes are minimum (Yilmaz et al., 2007). Yields increased from two to 3.5 times according to the rootstock used, mainly as a result of disease control (namely Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum, which affected between 10 and 30% of the non-grafted plants) and increased fruit weight and number (Yilmaz et al., 2006, 2007).

Projects on Grafted Plants of BATEM THE EFECTS OF USING SOME ROOTSTOCK ON YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS IN EGGPLANT (Solanum melongenae L.) The effects of using some rootstocks on yield and yield components in eggplant investigated in this study. S. torvum, Yedi F1 and Kemerit F1 were used as rootstocks and grafted to Nilo F1. According to the findings; the difference between rootstocks was statistically important in I., II., III. class and total fruit number with I., II., III. class and total fruit weight, fruit length.
