RESUMO -As doenças causadas por patógenos do solo provocam perdas expressivas em maracujazeiros comerciais. Uma das alternativas de controle dessas doenças seria a utilização de porta-enxertos resistentes. Passiflora nitida é uma das espécies de Passifloraceae que apresentam resistência a essas doenças, mas suas sementes geram porta-enxertos com caules finos e, portanto, incompatíveis com o diâmetro dos garfos da espécie comercial. Este problema pode ser resolvido pela utilização da enxertia em estacas enraizadas ou pela enxertia hipocotiledonar, mas, no Brasil, dados sobre o desenvolvimento e produtividade, em campo, de maracujazeiros enxertados, ainda são escassos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a reação a doenças, produtividade e características físicas de frutos de um clone de maracujazeiro-azedo (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa) comercial propagado por estaquia, enxertia em estacas herbáceas enraizadas de P. nitida (acesso EC-PN 1) e por sementes. As plantas foram cultivadas em um Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo, onde foram conduzidas em espaldeiras verticais com 1,90 metro em altura, com irrigação por gotejamento. As colheitas foram efetuadas semanalmente, durante 14 meses, e as avaliações das doenças foram efetuadas aos 17; 18 e 19 meses após o plantio. A produtividade das plantas propagadas por estaquia foi o dobro das enxertadas e das propagadas por sementes. Plantas enxertadas e propagadas por estaquia foram menos afetadas pelas doenças. Termos para indexação: controle de doenças, propagação assexuada, porta-enxerto, Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa, Passiflora nitida, características físicas dos frutos. REACTION TO DISEASES AND YIELD OF A PASSION FRUIT CLONE PROPAGATED BY CUTTINGS AND GRAFTING ON ROOTED-HERBACEOUS CUTTINGS OF WILD PASSIFLORA SPECIEABSTRACT -Diseases induced by soil-borne pathogens cause expressive losses in passion fruit crops in Brazil. The use of resistant rootstocks could be an alternative to control these diseases. Passiflora nitida is one of the wild species of Passifloraceae, which have presented resistance to these diseases, but its utilization as seedling rootstock has been limited mainly due to differences of thickness between rootstock and the graft of the commercial cultivars. This problem can be solved by using grafting on rootstock of rooted-herbaceous cuttings and hypocotyledonary grafting, but data about the performance and yield of grafted passion fruit in field conditions are yet scarce in Brazil. The objective of this work was to evaluate the reaction to disease attack, yield and physical characteristics of fruits from a commercial passion fruit clone propagated by rooted cuttings, by grafting on rooted cuttings of a wild P. nitida (source EC-PN 1) and by seeds. The plants were cultivated in a red-yellow latosol with a drip irrigation system and oriented on a vertical espalier of 1,90 meters high. Harvest occurred weekly during 14 months and disease eva1uations were carried out at 17, 18 and 19 months after the planting. Plant yields from rooted cuttings were twi...
