![]() There isĪlso evidence of increased yield in tomato by 54%. Increases of 25-50% yield have been reported by using grafted plants. Vigorous rootstock we can get maximum marketable yield. Soil borne fungal diseases can beĮffectively controlled by using vigorous rootstocks. The disease tolerance in grafting seedlings may be entirely due to Vegetable grafting we can control diseases attack on crops by using resistant Grafting minimize the negative effect of copper,Ĭadmium, vanadium, and manganese toxicity. Grafted plants surviveĮffectively under heavy metal stress compared with non-grafted plants under Grafting is proved as a shield against heavy metals. Higher yield under high temperature when grafted onto sweet pepper rootstock. Under low temperature due to presence of more Linolenic Acid. Increase tolerance to low soil temperature. Rootstock has been used commercially for water melon, cucumber and melons to Survive under extreme temperature but also increases the yield. Grafting not only makes plants resistant to Grafting we use rootstock which is normally temperature hardy, may help toĬompete with rapidly changing temperature. Growing seasons as well as growth habit of plants isīadly affected due to sudden change in temperature. Most dangerous threat to agriculture sector is changing environmentalĬonditions like very low and very high temperature. Grafted transplants also increases photosynthesis under unsuitable climaticĬonditions such as weak sun light and low level of CO2. Improves the absorption and translocation of nitrogen, magnesium, phosphorous,Īnd calcium and several other essential nutrients. Rootstock or scion improves nitrogen fixation in soybean. One-half to two-third compared with the standard recommendation for the Watermelons, the amount of chemical fertilizers can be reduced to about The frequency of agrochemical application can be significantly reduced. By use of vegetable grafting we can save more thanĥ0% of the fertilizers without compromising yield. Farmers are not applying the fertilizers according to recommendationĭue to their high prices. Increase in the price of fertilizer is a big issue forįarmer. Pakistan farmers are facing shortage of quality fertilizers and government alsoįails to facilitate them. ![]() Wild types of rootstocks for different vegetables are tolerant to Tolerance and vigorous rootstock we can use salt effected lands for growing Reclaim these types of degraded lands and we have to live with them. Salinity is a big threat to agricultural and there is no effective system to ![]() Year thousands of acre land became useless because of high rate of salts. Land is speedily converted in to barren land due to salt accumulation. WeĬan save a plenty of water by use of vegetable grafting technique. Grafting improve flooding tolerance of bitter gourd when grafted onto lufa. Water logged conditions but also increase the chlorophyll content in the leaves. Grafted transplants help plants survive under Helps to survive transplants under drought stress conditions due to its strong Plants by use of vegetable grafting such as grafting of tomato on eggplant There are evidences of improving the drought tolerance of Grafted transplants we can minimize the need of water by selecting a drought Use of water creates the need for improving irrigation practices. The competition among industrial and agricultural Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource in many parts of Vegetable grafting technique and these factors are of great importance for Is an overview of different factors that are directly supported by use of Many countries utilize vegetable grafting and get better yield from limited land.īy Bilal Akram and Dr. It is currently used for different vegetable such as watermelon, melon, cucumber, pepper, tomato and eggplant. It is an environment friendly technique use to control soil borne diseases, to induce resistance or tolerance against abiotic and biotic stresses to increasing the yield of susceptible cultivars. Commercial production and demand for vegetable grafted plants continuous to increase in Asia and Europe. Now a day, it is used in many countries which include Spain, Germany, Turkey, America, Canada and Mexico. The oldest record of grafting vegetable plants is in 500 AD in China, when farmers joined together multiple gourd plants to develop a greater root system to increase the size of gourd fruit that were used for rice storage during the winter season. In fruits grafting is very old technique but in vegetables it is comparatively new. Grafting is a centuries old technique used to unite two different plants of same specie or of different species for desirable traits.
