Summary

Introduction

Introduction originated in chinaThe plant of kiwi fruit isKiwi (Actinidia chinensis) is a cross a woody need support climbing shrub or pollinated dioecious fruit in nature that twining vine (liana). The kiwi plants produced through chip budding showed the maximum days to sprouting (36.93), number of shoots (4.47) graft-1, number of leaves (84.46) graft-1, graft growth (87.47 cm), graft diameter (5.13 cm) and bud/graft take success (81.00%). The interaction of grafting dates on 9th February and propagation methods as tongue grafting significantly influenced the number of shoots graft-1, number of leaves graft-1, graft diameter and bud/graft take success while had non-significant effect on number of days to sprouting, leaf area, graft growth and plants survival.
