Vegetable grafting is a tool for the development of a distinct plant source that aids in the dramatic drop of plant vulnerability to biotic and abiotic stress, and the reduction of production costs by minimizing plant protection chemicals. Japan and Korea were the pioneers of vegetable grafting; today, this practice plays a unique role in maximizing production per unit area around the world. Grafting is mostly done in vegetable and fruit crops for controlling Soil-borne diseases viz., Fusarium wilt, Bacterial wilt, quality enhancements such as TSS, pigments, and overcoming graft incompatibility through bridge crossing (inter-stock). Grafting is an art that requires specialized training. Robotic grafting has recently entered the market in order to reduce labour costs and optimize costs. The current review meticulously gathered information on rootstocks, scions, and interstocks. Graft compatibility and incompatibility in relation to physiological, biochemical, and molecular factors supporting graft success.
