Thesis Title: "Study to identify suitable time and technique of propagation in peach (Prunus
persica L) under Western Uttar-Pradesh conditions."
An Investigation entitled "Study to identify suitable time and technique of propagation in
peach (Prunus persica L.) under Western Uttar-Pradesh conditions." was concluded at the
Horticultural Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and
Technology, Meerut (U.P.) during the year 2022 in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD)
with three replication to assess the different modes of propagation in Peach. Total 7 treatments
viz Ti. 30h December Ta- 15th January Ts- 30th January Ta- 15th February Ts Ist March T
15th March T7- 30th March Wedge grafting and T budding were examined during the
investigation. Diferent parameters i.e, Shoot diameter (mm), Shoot length (cm), Number of
leaves, Leaf area(m,Height (cm), Survival (%), Mortality (6) were observed during the
proceeding of cropping period. On the basis of comprebensive study of present investigation, it
was concluded that amongst Wedge grafting and T-budding during the duration of January to
March Wedge grafting was found superior over T-budding for maximum shoot diameter, shoot
length, number of leaves, leaf area, height, survival percentage, mortality percentage. Thus, that
there was the significant impact of suitable technique and time of propagation of peach. The best
result was found with wedge grafting under 30 January and their combination may be suggested
for propagation of peach under Subtropical Conditions. Accordingly, Sharbati seedling
performed better in wedge grafting it revealed maximum shoot diameter, shoot length, number
of leaves, survival percentage. Hence, Wedge grafting recommended as successful commercial
propagation of Peach under Western Uttar Pradesh conditions.
