Abstract
Propagation of Santa Maria on Wild Pear Rootstock through Different Budding Techniques
Highlights
The wild Himalayan pear (Pyrus pashia), is a small to medium size deciduous tree of the small and oval shaped crown with ovate, finely toothed leaves, attractive white flowers with red anthers and small pear-like fruits
Maximum bud take success (69.3%) was recorded for the plants budded by T-budding, followed by the plants (64.0%) budded by patch budding and the plants (60.0%) budded by ring budding, while minimum bud take success (40.3%) was obtained for plants budded by chip budding
Mean values of different budding methods showed that maximum number of leaves plant-1 (10.3) was noted for plants budded by T-budding, followed by the plants (6.8) budded by patch budding and the plants (6.5) budded by ring budding, while the minimum number of leaves plant -1 (5.4) was recorded in plants budded by chip budding
Summary
The experiment, propagation of Santa Maria on wild pear rootstock through different budding techniques was conducted at Agricultural Research Station Baffa, Mansehra, KP, Pakistan during 2015. V. Number of leaves plant -1: The data recorded for the number of leaves plant -1 after 60 days showed that different budding methods had significant effect on number of leaves plant -1 (Figure 5) and (Table 1). Mean values of different budding methods showed that maximum number of leaves plant-1 (10.3) was noted for plants budded by T-budding, followed by the plants (6.8) budded by patch budding and the plants (6.5) budded by ring budding, while the minimum number of leaves plant -1 (5.4) was recorded in plants budded by chip budding. Comparing the means of different budding methods, it is concluded that maximum number of branches plant-1 (2.2) were noted for plants budded by T-budding, followed by the plants (1.9) budded by patch budding and the plants (1.8) budded by ring budding, while the minimum no of branches plant-1 (1.3) were recorded for plants budded by chip budding. Plants having more branches will have more number of leaves and vice versa [9]
