In recent years, there have been notable advancements in the cultivation techniques of kiwifruit, a fruit that is both popular and economically important. One particular practice that has gained recognition is top-working, which involves grafting new scions onto existing rootstocks. This horticultural technique has shown promise in improving yield, disease resistance, and overall productivity in orchards. This comprehensive review paper examines the different methods used in top working for kiwifruit cultivation, explores the factors that influence its success, and discusses the benefits and challenges associated with this practice. This review provides an overview of various techniques used for the top-working kiwifruit plants in Nepal. The success of top-working depends on factors such as timing, compatibility between scion and rootstock, grafting materials, and proper grafting techniques. This review paper also ranges over the importance of kiwifruit cultivation for Nepalese farmers, problems faced by them, persistent constraints in the country, and the future promise that kiwifruit cultivation holds for the economic advancement of the nation.
