| dc.description.abstract | The present experiment entitled “Effect of rootstock height and scion stick length on success, growth and survival of wedge grafting in guava (Psidium guajava L.)’’ at Fruit Research Station, Lalbaug, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during March-2021 to July-2021. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design with factorial concept with twenty treatment combinations and three repetitions. The experiment involved wedge grafting was performed in guava. The first factor involves rootstock height (15, 20, 25 and 30 cm). The second factor involves scion stick length (05, 7.5. 10, 12.5 and 15 cm) to study the effect of effect of rootstock height and scion stick length on success, growth and survival in guava grafts. The result on the effect of rootstock height minimum number of days taken to sprouting (12.62) in H2 (20 cm height of rootstock). Maximum number of successful grafts (5.00, 5.80, 6.73 and 6.68), highest success rate (50.00, 58.00, 67.33 and 66.82 %), minimum number of failure grafts (1.20, 2.21, 2.81 and 3.32) and lowest mortality rate (12.03, 22.12, 28.09 and 33.18 %) at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days interval, respectively, maximum number of leaves (22.68), number of nodes (11.05), internodes (10.05), leaf area (93.49 cm2 ), incremental scion length (31.79 cm), incremental rootstock length (19.97 cm), graft height (89.72 cm), girth above graft union (6.19 mm), girth below graft union (8.20 mm), number of shoots per graft (4.00) and survival percentage (66.82 %) at 120 DAG were noted in H4 (30 cm rootstock height). The result on the effect of scion stick length minimum number of days taken to sprouting (13.76), maximum number of successful grafts (4.33, 5.58, 6.25 and 6.17), success rate (43.33, 55.83, 62.50 and 61.70 %), minimum number of failure grafts (1.37, 2.46, 3.08 and 3.83) and mortality rate (13.70, 24.68, 30.87 and 38.31 %) at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days interval, respectively, maximum number of leaves (22.59) and maximum survival percentage (61.70 %) at 120 DAG were noted in L3 (10 cm scion stick length). Whereas, maximum number of nodes (9.78), internodes (8.78), leaf area (89.40 cm2 ), incremental scion length (22.52 cm), graft height (65.43 cm), girth above graft union (7.32 mm), girth below graft union (8.11 mm), number of shoots per graft (3.75) at 120 DAG were noted in L5 (15 cm scion stick length). Interaction effect of rootstock height and scion stick length minimum number of days taken to sprouting (11.11 days) was found in treatment H2L3 (20 cm rootstock height and 10 cm scion length) and maximum incremental scion length (33.80 cm) was found in treatment H4L5 (30 cm rootstock height and 15 cm scion length). Hence, for getting more success and the highest survival percentage, the wedge grafts should be prepared during the last week of March to first week of April using 30 cm rootstock (one year old) height and 10 cm scion stick (mature) length in guava. | |
