Abstract
This research was conducted to know the appropriate leaf number of scion for tube grafting in context with survival rate and quality of seedlings, and early yield of $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ cluster of cherry tomato plants. Scions were grafted when having leaves 1~2 (LF-2), 2~3 (LF-3), or 3~4 (LF-4). The treatment LF-3 showed the highest survival rates and the best results in 6 factors among 12 seedling quality factors. In case of early yield, the treatment LF-2 showed higher yield than others with the big difference. Economic analysis showed that LF-3 is desirable in case of nursery while LF-2 is better in case of farmers. The compromising solution is that farmers buy a little expensive seedlings grafted at the leaf stage of 1~2 from nurseries in terms of win/win strategy.
