“…The use of a rootstock is a technique that can help improve the water usage since the root system of the rootstock has a better and more vigorous development, is more efficient in its water use, and is more tolerant to water stresses (Kumar et al 2017;Pradhan et al 2017).…”

“…Since fruit firmness is directly related to the calcium pectate in the cell wall (Salisbur, Ross 1994), the reduction of this parameter in the fruits obtained from plants grown at 40 kPa may be due to a reduction in the absorption and transfer of the calcium caused by the low water supply in the soil. The increase in the firmness of the fruits from the grafted plants cultivated at 30 kPa water tension may be related to the fact that the Cucurbita rootstock probably develops a root system than those of the nongrafted plants, leading to an improvement in the calcium absorption under conditions of high water tension, i.e., a more efficient water and nutrient uptake (Kyriacou et al 2017(Kyriacou et al , 2018Pradhan et al 2017). In accordance with (Liu et al 2010), the total soluble solids and fruit firmness are extensively subject to The enzymatic activity of CAT showed significant differences in response to the water stress factor, so that the graft factor did not prominently figure (Figure 2).…”

Water stress decreases the quality of fruit by generating reactive oxygen species. Grafting is a technique that can improve the efficiency of crop water usage. This work was performed in order to assess the effect of different water stresses on the commercial and nutraceutical quality of a melon fruit. Cantaloupe melon plants, grown under shade houses were grafted onto a creole pumpkin rootstock and grown with different water stresses (20, 30, and 40 kPa). The grafted melon plants under 30-kPa water stress (G30) showed greater fruit firmness and increased catalase activity. The G30 fruits showed an increase in GPX activity of up to 80% over the non-grafted plants. The GSH was higher in fruits subjected to the 40-kPa water tension. The superoxide dismutase showed a 15% greater inhibition in the fruits from the non-grafted plants. At higher water tensions, the DPPH antioxidant activity decreased, while the vitamin C content increased.

“…The incidence of Meloidogyne incognita race 3-induced galling was reduced in cantaloupes (Cucumis melo L.) grafted on rootstocks C. moschata and C. metuliferus, with the latter rootstock being regarded as moderately resistant (Pradhan et al, 2017). Strongtosa and Shintosa produced greater yields ranging from 260 to 280% than that of nongrafted plants.…”

Cucurbit grafting has grown in favour among vegetable gardeners all over the world. The approach was originally developed to prevent soil-borne diseases, which remain still very important in today’s intensive agriculture. Important diseases that can be controlled by utilizing cucurbit rootstocks include fusarium and verticillium wilt, bacterial wilt, phytophthora and root-knot nematode. Demand for vegetables has been tremendously increasing around the world and due to the scarcity of arable land, persistent cultivation of vegetables being done under unfavourable soil and environmental stress conditions, especially in protected cultivation. Hence to lessen the production losses brought on by such abiotic and biotic stresses in cucurbits be to graft them onto rootstocks. Cucurbit grafting has also resulted in the production of organic and environmentally safer produce by reducing the intake of unfavourable pesticide residues. However, due to recent developments, this strategy now multifarious and used for a multitude of things. Increased usage of grafted seedlings will surely be encouraged by the development of versatile rootstocks, effective grafting tools and methods in numerous nations. The current review work highlights numerous studies on cucurbitaceous crop grafting carried out globally on issues including abiotic and biotic stresses, growth, yield and quality of cucurbitaceous crops.Cucurbit grafting has grown in favour among vegetable gardeners all over the world.

“…While many fruit qualities have been reported to improve, some fruit quality parameters are unaffected while some are hindered due to grafting. The physical quality attributes like size, shape, colour and absence of defects have improved (Pogonyi et al, 2005;Pradhan et al, 2017). Fredes et al (2017) reported an increase in the glucose and malic acid content of watermelon when grafted with citron melon rootstocks.…”

Grafted vegetable seedlings have been used from the early 20th century. This technique has been utilized extensively in East Asia and the European countries where it has developed as a multimillion-dollar industry. The increase in land area under protected cultivation, intensive use of land, scarcity of production resources and changing climate leading to unpredictable weather has caused a rapid increase in the use of grafted vegetables. However, in Nepal, where the productivity of vegetable crops is quite low and the breeding activities are inadequate, use of grafted vegetables is still unexploited. Therefore, this technique can be an important intervention to improve the overall production system of Solanaceous and Cucurbitaceous vegetables. Methods of vegetable grafting, their current uses, research carried out in Nepal and the possible opportunities are discussed in this review paper. Cleft, splice, tongue approach, hole- insertion and pin grafting are the methods currently in use. Grafting can be used to overcome the problems caused by various soil borne disease and nematodes and abiotic stresses like, low and high temperature stress, water stress, salinity, metal and organic pollutants while increasing the yield and extending crop duration in vegetable production. In Nepal, few research have been carried out on vegetable grafting with majority of them on assessment of tolerance to soil borne diseases. Utilization of this technique in Nepalese conditions provide ample opportunities for researchers and academicians to conduct researches and for breeding companies to develop resistant rootstocks. By implementing this method, vegetable industry can improve the overall yield, its quality and reduce hindrances in production.
