    STUDIES ON SOFTWOOD GRAFTING IN JAMUN (Syzygium cumunii Skeel.)
    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, 2010-07-15) JULIUS, UCHOI; Raju, B.
    The studies on softwood grafting in jam un was carried out at the division of Horticulture, Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, UAS, Bangalore. The broad objectives of the investigation are to study the success rate of softwood grafting in Jamun using only Syzygium cumunii as a rootstock under Bangalore conditions over the m onth in different growing condition. A significant effect w as observed with different treatm ent (months of grafting), sub treatm ent ( growing conditions) on the observation recorded on the softwood grafts of Jam u n. Among the different treatm ents (m onths of grafting), the maximum value recorded on the param eter such as, num ber of sprouts, internodal length, graft height and graft success was 16.70 days, 2.79, 8.08 cm, 12.43cm and 90.50 per cent respectively during the m onth of January. The maximum num ber of days taken for sprouting, days taken for leaf emergence recorded w as 16.70 days & 25.46 days during the m onth of December. The maximum num ber of leaves (12.08) and branches per graft (4.45) was recorded during the m onth of March. Among the different sub treatment (growing conditions), The maximum number of days taken for leaf emergence (20.31 days) and num ber of leaves (11.77) was recorded when grafts were kept inside shade net house. The maximum num ber of sprouts (2.92) and number of branches (3.77) was recorded when grafts were kept under open (Natural shade) condition. The maximum internodal length (7.47cm), graft height (10.79cm), and Graft success (94%) was recorded when the grafts were kept inside the low cost poly house. The interaction effect also have a significant influence on alm ost all the parameters of the softwood graft. Thus the softwood grafting can be carried out successfully over the m onth under different growing conditions. However it was found that the maximum per cent of graft success were found to be the month of January when grafts were kept inside low cost poly house.
