Perspectives of grafting in Solanaceous vegetables: A review
Author(s): Kumari Shiwani
Abstract: Vegetables are nutritionally rich, high-valued crops and remunerative enough to replace subsistence farming. However, vegetables especially Solanaceous vegetables are highly sensitive to biotic and sudden irregularities in weather factors at any phase of crop growth can affect the normal growth, flowering, fruit development and subsequently the yield. Grafting in vegetable has emerged as a promising surgical alternative over relatively slow conventional breeding methods aimed at increasing tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses thus enabling expansion of commercial production of vegetable in problematic soils. Accordingly, the aim of the current review is to reassess the perspective of grafting in above said group of vegables.
