Abstract

An experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology-Meerut, to study the effect of time and techniques of propagation on bud/graft success and quality parameters in guava (Psidium guajava L.). Maximum survival percent (82.30) was recorded with patch budding performed in March under shade condition. Wedge grafting recorded minimum number of days to bud sprout (13.86 days) under shade conditions whereas, patch budding had recorded maximum number of days to bud sprout (36.86 days) under open conditions. The sprouting percentage of budded or grafted plant was higher under shade condition than open condition. Based on results obtained in the present study, it may be concluded that, patch budding was found to be better over wedge grafting in respect of survival, sprouting, plant and growth traits.
