Graft compatibility of Surinam cherry as a rootstock for jamun, guava and rose apple

Abstract

An experiment on effect of graft compatibility of surinam cherry (Eugenia uniflora L.) as a rootstock for jamun, guava and rose apple was carried out at the Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture, Mysuru. The experiment was laid out with completely randomized design having four treatments and five replications. Observations on graft success, survivability, growth parameters ie., number of sprouts, sprout length and number of levers were recorded at monthly interval. Graft success percentage and percent survivability of the grafts was maximum (72.00 and 68.00 %, respectively) in surinam cherry as scion and also number of sprouts, sprout length and number of leaves were maximum at 30, 60 and 90 days after grafting, compared to other treatments.
