Abstract

A trail was conducted at Regional Horticultural Research Station, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat during 2016-17. The results of experiment revealed that the stones soaked with Vermiwash 1 % showed the best results with respect to maximum germination percentage (71.33 %), maximum height of rootstock (22.26 cm), maximum diameter of rootstock (0.59 cm), maximum girth of rootstock (1.57 cm), maximum number of primary roots of rootstock (3.60) and maximum number of secondary roots of rootstock (29.73). Vemiwash 1 % was the best treatment for enhancing germination percentage and production of vigorous seedling.
