Introduction • Mango is propagated by various methods by nurserymen depending on success and preference of the growers in the region. • Inarching grafting method is commonly practiced in western India. In-situ softwood grafting method is popular and effective in arid and semi-arid region. • Stone grafting is most successful, easy, economical and quick method for mango propagation. Veneer Grafting Selection of Scion: Scion stick or bud stick should be healthy with swollen eye buds and 10 to 15 cm length and of pencil size thickness. Leaves are defoliated 8 to 10 days before cutting for grafting. Procedure • Make a slanting cut up to 5 cm to the bud stick and same length deep notch to mango rootstock seedling. • Put the cut part of scion in the notch of rootstock and tie with 1 cm wide polythene film tape. Veneer Grafting Season: Veneer grafting should be performed in the month of September to October After Care • Grafted plants / seedlings are kept humid and moist condition. • Scion shoot starts sprouting in about 3 to 4 weeks. • Polythene strip should be removed after the success of graft. • Grafts ready for planting in 3 months. Success rate is 75 to 80 %. Stone Grafting Selection of Scion: Scion sticks with 7 to 8 cm long from current year growth from healthy mother plants should be selected. Procedure • • • Stone grafting operation should be performed in July- August months. Vertical cut of 3 to 4 cm is given on the rootstock and a corresponding wedge shaped cut is given on the scion. Wedge shaped cut on scion is matched with the cut on rootstock and then tied firmly with a polythene strip. Stone Grafting After Care • Remove the growing shoots from root stock and inflorescence from grafted scion immediately after emergence. • Remove the polythene strip when union is formed and protect the graft from hot sun, pest and disease attack. Advantages • Survival Success is more than 80 to 90 %, Requires less time and this Method is very suitable for coastal region. Inarch Grafting Selection of Scion and Rootstock: • Select one year old at least two feet long and healthy rootstock grown in pots / polythene bags. • Root stock plant and scion stock plant sticks should have equal thickness. It should be from current year growth and from healthy mother plant Season • August-September is best season for Inarch Grafting. Inarch Grafting Procedure: • Arrange the root stocks and scion tree on some platform or mandapam and Mark the grafting locations on stock and scion. • Remove 5 cm long, 1 to 2 cm wide & about 0.2 cm deep slice of bark along with wooden part from stock and scion branches. • Bring the cut surfaces together, cover the joint with a banana leaf sheath and tie them together with soft threads and cover joint part with cow dung plaster to protect from rain water. Inarch Grafting After care • Water the plants as and when required. Cut the scion from the parent tree after 2 to 3 months when the wound has healed. • One week after separating the plant from root stock, the part of the rootstock above the graft is cut off. • Keep the graft in semi shading area to harden the graft before transplanting into the main field.
