Abstract

A study was conducted to standardize the method and time of grafting on pecan (Carya illinoensis Wangenh). Three grafting method, viz. Tongue grafting, Cleft grafting and Side grafting with four different timings, viz. 4^th week of February, 1^st week of March, 2^nd week of March and 3r^d week of March were used. The results indicated that among all the grafting methods, tongue grafting performed during 1^st week of March showed highest grafting success (69.16 %) and maximum survival percentage (47.33 %), maximum number of leaves (24.55), plant height (118.38 cm), diameter of rootstock (2.40 cm), diameter of scion (2.19 cm), plant biomass (131.37 g) and leaf area (193.66 cm²). Hence, the grafting performed during the 1^st week of March showed better performance as compared to other dates of grafting.
