Abstract

The experiment was conducted during the year 2019-20 & 2021-22, at Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj with the object to study the success and initial growth performance of grafts of some important varieties of mango under net house condition. The experiment consists of ten different varieties of mango Amrapali, Kishan Bhog, Gulabkhas, Kesar, Totapuri, Dasheri, Malgoa, Himsagar, Nisar Pasand & Bombay Green as treatments and replicated thrice in Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The results of present investigation clearly showed that, grafts of different mango varieties studied had a significant influence on the maximum values of growth parameters like Graft Diameter (23.80 mm), scion diameter (17.35 mm), rootstock diameter (20.06 mm), length of grafted plant (88.71 cm), Days to sprout (14.25), Number of leaves (21.50), survival percentage at 150 DAG (90.00%) and rootstock length (65.72cm ) were recorded maximum in the graft of variety Dasheri while Stionic ratio was found best in the graft of variety Gulabkhas (0.90), Scion length (25.14cm) was found best in the graft of variety Malgoa and maximum leaf area (307.43 cm2) was found in kesar.

Conclusion

The present investigation, can be concluded that the performance of grafts of Dasheri, Malgoa, Nisar Pasand & Amrapali varieties was found superior at nursery stage as grafts of these varieties have required comparatively well survival percentage. The growth parameters like graft diameter and shoot: root ratio were found maximum in these varieties. The root and biomass characters were also significantly superior in grafts of said varieties. Hence, it can be suggested that, for large scale multiplication of mango plants through wedge grafting, the scion wood of Dasheri, Malgoa, Amrapali & Nisar Pasand varieties may be used, as grafts of these varieties have recorded maximum success and higher values of growth parameters.
