EFFECT OF LENGTH AND VARIETY OF SCION IN STONE GRAFTING OF MANGO (Pages : 7 - 11)
M. A. ALAM, M. G. MORTUZA, M. Z. UDDIN, D. SARKER and J. C. BARMANA study was conducted for mass multiplication of mango through stone grafting during last week of July, 2002. Mango seedlings of 15 days old were grafted with three varieties of scion viz. BARI Aam-1, BARI Aam-3 and Langra. Five categories of scion length (5.0, 7.5, 10.0, 12.5 and 15.0 cm.) were used in grafting. Langra performed the best in all categories of scion length whereas BARI Aam-3 succeeded the least. Maximum final success (76.67%) was recorded in 10.0 cm long scions followed by 7.5 cm long ones (70.00%) in variety Langra. Minimum final success was (23.33%) when 5.0 cm long BARI Aam-3 scions were used for stone grafting. Scions of 15.0 cm length in the grafts of all the varieties produced the longest shoots. Download
