The Standardization of method and time of propagation in jamun (Syzygium cuminii. Skeels) var. Konkan Bahadoli

Abstract

The present investigation on the standardization of methods and time of propagation in jamun (Syzygium cuminii. Skeels ) var. Konkan Bahadoli was conducted during 2018-19 in different months, viz. July, August, September, October and November with five different methods, i.e. Softwood grafting, Whip and tongue grafting, Hardwood cutting, Semi hard wood cutting and patch budding under mist chamber condition. The result revealed that among the propagation methods, softwood grafting during August observed the highest survival percentage (94.72%). Similarly after 90th the same treatment softwood grafting during August the maximum number of new shoots per plant(6.13), number of leaves/plants (15.34), leaf area (32.88 cm2),carbohydrate content (6.57%) were recorded. Based on the experiment at result obtained that softwood grafting performed month of August was found to be the best for jamun propagation.
