Performance of red jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) genotypes for softwood graft success

Abstract

An experiment was carried out to study the response of elite red jackfruit genotypes for softwood grafting at Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture, Mysuru during the period of September 2018. The about 15 genotypes were selected for softwood grafting on six month old rootstocks. The results revealed that per cent graft success and survivability percentage varied from 20.04% to 40.67% at 90 days after grafting and 57.08% to 71.67% at 120 days after grafting, respectively. The graft success, graft survival and other growth parameters such as number of sprouts, number of leaves, graft height and graft girth was significantly varied among the different genotypes.
