Abstract: |
A field experiment was conducted in Dhankuta to find the effect of grafting dates and methods on success and growth of mandarin sapling. Scions taken from ‘Khoku Local’ mandarin were grafted on one-year-old trifoliate orange seedling rootstock by shoot tip and veneer grafting methods in eight different dates starting from 29th October, 2009 to 12th February, 2010 at 15 days intervals. The grafts were planted inside the closed tunnel of jute and plastic sheet at 10×10 cm spacing in 50×60 cm experimental plots laid out in two factorial split-plot designs with three replications per treatment, containing 30 grafts per plot. The grafting methods were allotted on main-plots and the dates on sub-plots randomly. The success and growth of sapling was significantly affected by the dates while the methods had no effect. The highest success (96.11 %) was found on 13th January, followed by 28th January (91.11%) and the least (51.67%) on 29th October grafting. The mortality of sprouted grafts was lower in December and January, while observed higher in earlier and late season grafting. Observation taken at 180 days after grafting in successful graft revealed that 29th October had the highest number of primary branches (2.2) but the lowest sapling height (29.03 cm) and canopy volume (973.3 cm3); 14th November had the highest number of leaves (48.47), secondary branches (2.505) and canopy volume (1536.0 cm3); 29th December gave the maximum sapling height (32.86 cm); 13th January produced the lowest number of leaves (21.93) per sapling and 28th January produced the lowest number of primary (1.533) and secondary branches (1.172). |
