Abstract
Experiment was conducted to develop a drought tolerant Jatropha curcas through cleft (or) wedge grafting with Jatropha glandulifera and Jatropha gossypifolia (drought tolerant species) and to find out the grafting compatibility, survival and growth attributes of grafted plant at weekly intervals up to seven weeks. On seven weeks after grafting, the results revealed that survival percentage (80.3 per cent) and number of sprouts per plant (3.2) was higher in plants grafted with Jatropha gossypifolia than the plants grafted with Jatropha glandulifera. From this experiment, it could be concluded that considering the survival percentage and number of sprouts per grafted plant, cleft or wedge grafting of Jatropha gossypifolia with Jatropha curcas was found to have good compatibility for grafting, which in turn results in good tolerance against drought especially during summer months.
