    Soft Wood Grafting of Mango in Situ
    (1978-06) Ramanbhai S. Amin
    One year old in situ grown mango stocks were soft wood grafted by wedge method having imposed three treatments viz. (A) immediate removal of all the leaves from the stock (B) immediate removal of leaves from the lower half of the stock and (C) retaining all the leaves on the stock, in the year 1975. Periodical records were maintained for the failures of the successful grafts and also for the girth of grafts at 15 cm height at every six months. The results indicated that 67.65 per cent grafted plants survived in treatment A, while 100 per cent survival was found in the treatments B and C. The secondary growth as measured in terms of an increase in circumference of the survived grafts revealed significant superiority of the treatments B and C as compared to A.
