Abstract

An experiment was conducted to see the effect of time and rootstock on the success of wood apple grafting. There were 2 factors in this experiment. Factor A consisted of three grafting time, viz. 15 May, 15 June and 15 July and factor B consisted of two rootstocks, viz. bael and wood apple. The highest (35.23 cm) plant ht. was observed on 15 May grafting followed by 15 June (28.87 cm) and the lowest plant ht. recorded from 15 July (26.82 cm). The maximum no. branch (1.67) and leaves (23.33) were found on 15 May. Minimum no. (10) leaves were recorded from 15 June but minimum no. (1.00) branches were recorded on 15 July. It was observed that wood apple rootstock performed better over bael rootstock in all the parameters studied from rootstock’s effect point of view. In case of combined effect it was revealed that in three grafting times wood apple rootstocks performed better over bael rootstocks in all the parameters studied except no. of branch.BARI wood apple-1 gave the highest no. of leaves (26.67) when they were grafted on wood apple rootstock on 15 May followed by 15 July x wood apple rootstock (22.67). The lowest no. leaves (6.67) produced from 15 June x bael rootstock. The highest (100%) and the lowest (10%) survivality were recorded from 15 June x wood apple rootstock and 15 July x bael rootstock, respectively.
