Abstract
Unfavourable environmental conditions and cultivation practices affect the quality and quantity of vegetable production. In vegetable crops especially in solanaceae and cucurbitaceae families, grafting is a sustainable tool for overcoming the problem of biotic and abiotic stress. First time the people of Japan and Korea adopted this technique to overcome crop loss caused by soil-borne pathogens. In grafting, by use of suitable rootstocks not only quantitative traits but also improve qualitative characters such as heat, salinity and wet-soil conditions.
