This study was conducted to determine eggplant grafting compatibility to the growth, yield and disease resistance. The treatments were using varieties of Pokak and Gelatik as rootstock and varieties of Prince, Antaboga, HijauKuat and Ratih Hijau as scions. The result of Pokak variety as rootstock with Antaboga variety as scion obtained harvest period 153 days, the bacterial wilt disease by 10, 42% and yield 28, 68 t ha-1.
