Cultivation
Solanum melongena L.
A method of combining an eggplant scion with a resistant rootstock, used to increase the endurance of the root system to soil-borne pathogens, nematodes, and abiotic stresses.
In the reference 22 varieties crop Eggplant, where this is mentioned in the description.
For eggplant, cleft grafting, approach grafting, side grafting, and apical growth point grafting methods are used. The main rootstocks are tomato and wild Solanum species, particularly Solanum torvum, which provide higher growth vigor and productivity compared to the plant's own roots.
The primary objective of eggplant grafting is protection against soil-borne pests, to which its root system is extremely sensitive. When working with wild rootstocks, it is necessary to consider specific tissue compatibility and ensure precise matching of scion and rootstock stem diameters for successful graft union.
