Abstract

Grafting can be defined as the natural or deliberate fusion of plant parts so that vascular continuity is established between them and the resulting genetically composite organism functions as a single plant. Grafting used for a long time ago to increase uniformity, vigour and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses of vegetatively propagated plants (i.e. fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs). The technique also applied in vegetable production to tackle biotic and abiotic stresses. Grafting of vegetables is a common practice in different parts of the world, but not in Ethiopia. However, there is no review attempt made so far pertinent to the issues of vegetable grafting in Ethiopia. Therefore, this paper aimed to review the importance of grafting on selected fruit vegetables yield, quality, disease resistant and stress tolerant.
