Why Grafted Vegetable Seedlings?

  Where the farmer wants specific characteristics in a plant, such as improved tolerance for certain soil-borne and fungal diseases, growing from grafted plugs is a solution. Watermelon and tomato crop farming have been reported to have superb results when using grafted plugs. Grafting entails the union of two plants to create one plant with specific characteristics. The scion from a plant with high fruit delivery characteristics can be united with the rootstock of another plant that has a strong root system. This delivers a plant with more vigour and a high yield capacity.
