Abstract
Rootstocks have become a major component is present day viticulture. Till date, there are several rootstocks evolved of which some have become commercial in many advanced countries. Different types of grafting and budding methods have been tried in grapes with varying success rates. Hence, to standardize the same for Pusa Urvashi, different rootstocks (Pusa Navrang, Dogridge A, SO4 and H-144) involving different grafting methods (wedge, side and bench grafting) were tried. The grafting factor like months (February, March and August), grafting height (15, 30 and 45 cm.) and growing condition was glasshouse. The highest success of graft take was registered in wedge (87.0%) followed by side (62.5%) in all the three months while in bench grafting (48%) in February month. The graft take was maximum at the height of 15 cm, while the minimum was noted at 45 cm. Of the three grafting months, February was found best with respect to percentage graft success and survival.
