Development of Vegetables Grafting in China

Japanese Journal of Farm Work Research, 2007
It has been said that plant grafting technology was invented 3,000 years ago in China for fruit trees, however it was firstly applied for actual vegetable cultivation in Japan. China started investigations on vegetables grafting in 1960s. In 1980s vegetable grafting was disseminated to vegetable cultivation in order to control the soil sickness induced
