Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Effect of different time and methods of budding on
the bud take success of Nectarine on Peach (Prunus persica L.) seedling rootstocks” was
conducted at Fruit Nursery, department of Fruit science. VCSG Uttarakhand University of
Horticulture and Forestry, Bharsar, Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India. The combinations of
different budding time i.e. 20th August, 5th September and 20th September with three different
methods i.e. shield, chip and patch budding were tried to investigate their effects on the bud
take success of Nectarine on Peach seedling rootstocks.
In this study peach seedling were used as rootstock in the field conditions. The
Nectarine cv. Red June was used for bud take success. Days taken to bud sprouting, sprout
length (cm), sprout diameter (cm), number of branch, number of leaves, leaf area (cm2),
percent dead budded plants without sprouting, percent dead budded plants after sprouting,
survival percentage and percent total saleable plants were determined as experimental
parameters after budding,
All budding time and methods were found suitable for nectarine propagation. However, the
maximum sprout length (84.64 cm), diameter (0.93 cm), number of branches (34.18) number
of leaves per budded plant (134), leaf area (24.20 cm2), survival (62.50%), and total saleable
plants (91.97%) and minimum days taken to bud sprout (161.12 days), dead budded plants
without sprouting (16.67%) were obtained with shield budding performed on 20th August.
Minimum dead budded plants after sprouting (16.67%) was obtained from shield budding
practiced on 5th September.
