Studies on softwood grafting in jamun (Syzygium cumini Skeels.)

Abstract

Jamun (Syzygium cumini Skeels.) is one of the important minor indigenous fruit crops of India with multifarious uses. The propagation of jamun by softwood grafting was tried at University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during 2006-07. The grafting was done at monthly interval from August (2006) to June (2007) under open as well as controlled conditions. The graft success under open condition was significantly highest (100%) in the months of November (2006) and May (2007), where as, under controlled condition significantly maximum (100%) graft take was noticed in the months of October, November and December.
