Abstract
An investigation was carried out to standardize the season and propagation environment for softwood grafting in jamun under open and mist chamber conditions during 2014–15 at monthly interval of September 2014-February 2015. Among the different months undertaken, grafting performed during September recorded highest graft success (75.24%), graft survival (71.45%), minimum number of days (23.28) for sprouting, maximum leaf area (32.45 cm2), graft diameter (0.48 cm) and graft height (33.13 cm). However, growth parameters viz., number of sprouts (2.54), sprout length (3.68 cm) and number of leaves (9.70) were found to be better in grafts performed in the month of February. Results on the influence of propagation environment on success of softwood grafting showed that grafts kept under mist chamber recorded minimum number of days (17.17) for sprouting, highest graft success (92.36%), graft survival (89.51%) and all other growth parameters (number of sprouts, sprout length, number of leaves, leaf area, graft height and graft diameter). Thus, the study clearly revealed that grafts performed during September under mist chamber gave maximum graft success and graft growth.
