The present study was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm of CSK HPKV, Palampur during the year 2019- 20 and 2020-21. The experimentation was designed in RCBD along with three replications. The data was worked out for various growth and yield of tomato and potato of pomato grafts. The outcomes of the investigation presented that maximum plant height (272.90 cm), number of fruits per cluster (8.20), fruit yield per pant (4.11 kg), tuber yield per square meter (5.44 kg), was calculated for the graft combinations i.e. K. Himalini + Rakshita, K. Himalini + PTH-1, K. Pukhraj + Avtar. Observations from the recorded data also proved that K. Jyoti+ Avtar and K. Jyoti + PTH-1 took minimum number of days for first flowering and days to harvest in case of tomato and potato i.e. 49.70 and 72.04. Hence, these graft combinations can be further recommended to grower, so they can fetch more yield from the limited land holding.
