Abstract

The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of IAA, BAP, ZnSO4 and growing condition on the growth, vigour and survival of mango (Mangifera Indica L.) grafts cv. Dashehari at Fruit Research Station Imaliya, Department of Horticulture, JNKVV Jabalpur. In India, there are variety of propagation techniques accessible, including softwood, veneer grafting, side grafting, and epicotyl grafting. Various aspects, including weather conditions, different types of mango cultivars, specific growth seasons, age of shoots and rootstocks, scion wrapping method, shoot maturity, and rootstock quality, all influence the outcomes and viability of mango grafting. The experiment was carried out in Factorial Completely Randomized Design (FCRD) during September 2022 to January 2023. The data showed that among different treatments BAP 40 ppm + ZnSO4 500 ppm under open condition was found to be most effective for days taken to sprout initiation with minimum 8.00 Days and for sprouting percentage with maximum values (76.66 and 77.66%) at 30 and 60 days. While the IAA 200 ppm + ZnSO4 500 ppm under shade net condition was found best in respect to maximum number of leaves (8.66 and 13.66) and survival percentage (73.33% and 74.33%) at 90 and 120 days. It is concluded from the research that Indole acetic acid (IAA) in combination with ZnSO4 under the shade condition is preferred for wedge grafting in late rainy season cv. Dashehari.

Conclusion

On the basis of the research, it is concluded that the BAP 40 ppm + ZnSO4 500 ppm under open condition was found superior for days taken to sprouting and sprouting percentage. Conversely, the IAA 200 ppm + ZnSO4 500 ppm under the shade net condition was found superior in terms of maximum number of leaves and survival percentage among all the treatments in wedge grafting during last week of September. The IAA 200 ppm + ZnSO4 250 ppm under the shade net condition was found next best treatment for maximum number of leaves and survival percentage.
