    A Study on the Establishment of Mango Orchard with Wedge Graft on "In Situ" Grown Mango Seedlings in Dry Regions of the Gujarat State
    (1974) Amin, R.S.
    The only way of producing a better quality of desired cultivar of mango, is to produce vegetative propagated mango plants and to establish them in the field economically and successfully, A noticeable percentage of success is obtained in getting the vegetatively propagated plants in the nursery conditions; however a large number of such plants fail to establish themselves in the field. Growing mango seedlings "In situ" in the field through mango stone is easy. An experiment was, therefore taken up for wedge grafting the mango stocks grown "In Situ", both in the nursery and cultivators’ field. Linearly developing terminal new growth of the stock, having bronse coloured leaves and stem was taken as the site for grafting. Wedge grafting using the scion wood defoliated to 2 weeks before was done, and all the leaves from the stem of the stock were removed after the operation. This has given 91.5 per cent success in nursery grown seedlings and 76 per cent success in the cultivators' field without irrigation. Thus; the most effective and economical method for establishment of mango orchard by wedge grafting on "In situ" grown mango seedlings in dry regions of the Gujarat State has been evolved.
