| dc.description.abstract | Mango (Mangiferaindica L.) is economically the most important fruit crop of India.The mango fruit is a self-contained package of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, proteins and anti-oxidants with low content of energy, protein and fat, high level of fiber and zero level of cholesterol. Indian mango is popular for its sweetness, richness of colour and flavour. In spite of the largest mango producer, the export share of India is too small in the international market. Therefore, there appears a golden opportunity for India to improve the productivity and quality of mango to enhance its export. In order to meet the market demand of mango its productivity needs to be enhanced considerably. To establish mango orchards with high productivity and quality fruits, rapid multiplication of mango on suitable root-stock is the need of time. The soft-wood grafting is one of the most efficient, easy and successful grating methods of mango propagation.The present investigation was conducted during 2015-2017, to investigate the success of soft-wood grafting in different cultivars (Amrapali; Mallika; Dashehari; Chausa; Langra and Bombay Green) of mango as influenced by the age (1-8 months) and height (25, 50, 75 and 100 cm) of the root-stock. The experiments were carried out in the split-plot design with 3 replications having 10 plants per plot. The parameters studied were: number of days taken for the first sprouting, % graft take success, % graft survival, linear growth of scion-shoot, radial growth of scion-shoot and number of leaves per grafted plant. The measurements for the % graft take success were taken at 45 DAG, the % graft survival was measured at 120 DAG and the linear and radial growths of scion-shoot and number of leaves per grafted plant were recorded at 180 DAG.The observations recorded were subjected to statistical analysis of variance. The root-stock age/height and scion cultivar were found to exhibit significant influence, whereastheir interaction was not found to exhibit significant influence on the time taken for the sprout initiation and the % graft take success. The % graft survival did not seem to depend either on the root-stock age/height or the scion cultivar or their interactions significantly. The scion-shoot length and girth and number of leaves per grafted plant exhibited significant dependence on the age/height of the root-stock and cultivar of the mango scion. However, the interaction effect of the age of the root-stock and cultivar of the mango scion was found to influence the scion-shoot length and girth and number of leaves per grafted plantnon-significantly. | en_US |
