Guideline Techniques for Vegetable Grafting Event 2020

Grafting is a centuries-old technique used to unite two different plants of the same specie or of different species for desirable traits. In fruits, grafting is a very old technique but in vegetables, it is comparatively new. 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 was used for rice storage during the winter season. Now a day, it is used in many countries which include Spain, Germany, Turkey, America, Canada, and Mexico. Commercial production and demand for vegetable grafted plants continue to increase in Asia and Europe.
