Present investigation was carried out for two successive years i.e. 2016-17 and 2017-18 to study the performance of grafted tomato with respect to growth, yield and quality of tomato under polyhouse conditions at Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSKHPKV, Palampur. Sixteen different ischolar_mainstocks of tomato were grafted with scion cultivar 'GS-600'. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with three replications and cleft grafting method was used. Plants grafted on ischolar_mainstock LS-89 proved superior to other ischolar_mainstocks for days to first flowering and days to first harvest. For prolonged harvest duration plants grafted on tomato ischolar_mainstock Green Gourd found superior. Higher yield in terms of number of marketable fruits per plant, marketable fruit yield per plant and marketable fruit yield per square metre in were recorded plants grafted on tomato ischolar_mainstock Green Gourd.
