The current experiment was conducted at the College of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture,
Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani (Maharashtra) during the year 2020
and 2021. The pot experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD)
which was replicated twice with two factors, i.e., grafts and salinity levels. In grafts, there were
four varieties grafted on Solanum torvum i.e., Phule Arjun, Phule Harit, Krishna and Manjari
Gota, by adopting cleft method and there were five salinity levels i.e., Control, 2, 3, 4 and 5 dS
m -1 which were imposed with the help of sodium chloride (NaCl) salt to assess the response of
rootstock towards the fruit and yield attributes under salinity stress conditions. Among the
different varieties grafted on Solanum torvum Phule Harit showed significantly superior
performance for fruit (fruit weight, volume, diameter and length), yield (fruit yield/plant and
hectare). In interactions, Phule Harit grafted on Solanum torvum was found maximum for fruit
weight, volume, diameter and length, yield per plant and hectare.
