Exploring Tomato Grafting Techniques at the Mid-Ohio Growers Meeting

The Mid-Ohio Growers Meeting is an annual horticulture-focused event in Holmes County, OH, attracting growers from multiple states including OH, MI, PA, and KY. This event offers a platform for growers to participate in hands-on demonstrations, attend industry and extension seminars, and explore a trade show. At this year’s meeting, Jason Hollick, a Ph.D. candidate in the Kubota Lab, partnered with Dr. Matt Kleinhenz and Sonia Walker from the Vegetable Production Systems Laboratory at The Ohio State University to arrange a tomato grafting demonstration. This hands-on session provided growers with the opportunity to learn techniques for grafting tomato plants, aiming to empower growers with key knowledge and practical skills necessary for grafted plant production.
