GRAFTING OF VEGETABLE CROPS AS A TOOL TO IMPROVE YIELD AND TOLERANCE AGAINST DISEASES- A REVIEW
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 13
Abstract
Now a day’s Grafting is regarded as a rapid alternative tool to the relatively slow breeding methodology. To increase domestic and sustainable vegetable production grafting is a new technology by using resistant rootstock to improve yield and quality of produce. It was first started in Japan & Korea and Efforts are being made in AVRDC to improve production in the Asian lowland tropics. Currently most watermelon, cucumber and various solanaceae crops are grafted before being transplanted in the green house or in the field. The purpose of grafting also has been greatly expanded to various type of stress tolerance, increasing plant vigor, yield and duration of crop. Vegetable grafting has potential to promote cultivation of the vegetables under non-traditional conditions and frazile agro-eco-systems. Focus on enhancing the capacity of vegetable production and consumption to reduce malnutrition by adopting some innovations.
