dc.description.abstractThe present study entitled “Grafting studies in cucurbitaceous crops ” was carried out at Research Farm of the Department of Vegetable Science, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during summer season of 2019. Grafting crops onto resistant rootstocks is an effective technique in the management of biotic and abiotic stresses. In this experiment, the effect of different rootstocks on plant growth, fruit yield and Fusarium wilt resistance were studied in watermelon and muskmelon. Watermelon (Watermelon Scion 1 and Watermelon Scion 2) varieties were grafted onto 6 rootstock i.e Tarkakdi, Bottleguard- Local, Bottleguard-Wild, Pumpkin, Watermelon and Muskmelon. Non-grafted and self-grafted plants were used as control. Grafting significantly affected plant growth and yield. Fruit yield was positively influenced by grafting when compared with control. Maximum fruit yield per plant (9.64 kg) was found in Watermelon Scion 1 grafted onto Tarkakdi rootstock and minimum Fusarium disease incidence, was found in Watermelon Scion- 2 grafted onto Tarkakdi rootstock. Therefore Tarkakdi rootstock was found best for watermelon grafting. Muskmelon (Muskmelon Scion 1 and Muskmelon Scion 2) varieties were also grafted on 5 rootstocks i.e, Tarkakdi, Bottle guard-Local, Bottle guard-Wild, Pumpkin and Muskmelon. Non-grafted and self-grafted plants were used as control. Grafting significantly affected plant growth and yield. Fruit yield was positively influenced by grafting when compared with control. Maximum fruit yield per plant (6.94 kg) was found in Muskmelon Scion -1 grafted onto Muskmelon rootstock and in fusarium disease incidence, minimum disease incidence was found in Tarkakdi (20.39%) rootstock. Hence, Grafting improved plant growth and yield without any harmful effects on fruit quality.en_US
