Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Effect of different rootstocks on success of budding in Nagpur Mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco.)” was carried out at the Fruits Research Farm, Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalarapatan, Jhalawar during the year 2008-09. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with four treatments and five replications. One year old seedlings of different species [Rough lemon (Citrus Jambhiri Lush.), Rangpur lime (Citrus limonia Usbek), Sour orange (Citrus aurantium Linn.) and Carrizo (Citrus sinensis (L) Osbek x Citrus trifoliata L.)] of citrus were used as rootstock for budding of Nagpur Mandarin. The budding operation was undertaken on 15th Oct, 2008.
It was found that Sour orange had maximum bud take percentage (78.94 %). Maximum budding success (68.313 %), minimum days (54.400) required for 50 % sprouting, maximum length of scion shoot (17.98 cm), maximum plant height (34.584 cm), number of nodes/plant (1.546), number of branchlets/plants (0.054). Maximum leaf area (15.958 cm2), RWC of leaves (51.744 %) and chlorophyll content in leaves (0.194 mg/g) were observed on Rough lemon. The minimum days required (18.740 days) for first sprouting, maximum length of internodes/plant (0.296 cm), number of leaves (24.460) on scion and the maximum girth of rootstock (372.680 mm), length of longest primary root (20.218 cm), length of longest secondary root(7.648 cm) and maximum number of secondary root (29.540) were recorded in Rangpur lime.
It was found that scion of Nagpur Mandarin had vigorous performance on the Rough lemon rootstock.
