According to the above, there are different ways to measure compatibility related to morphological, metabolic, and physiological attributes. [...]information may be helpful in canopy management to maximize photosynthetic efficiency (Schaffer et al.. [...]more information on the physiological aspects of grafted plants of avocado cultivars is necessary. In Hass avocado trees, where morphological alterations between tissues (rootstock and scion) are evident in the grafted plants used in commercial orchards in Colombia, this study aims to evaluate the photosynthetic response as a result of the compatibility between the rootstock and the scion in three locations in Colombia. Statistical analysis The statistical analysis consisted of a mixed linear model for the variables, performing a significant multiple difference test using the adjustment for multiplicity by family through Holm's correction.
