Title : Effect of Grafting Height on Success and Growth of Acid Lime (Citrus Alll:Antifolia Swingle) Sapling Material Type: printed text Authors: B. Chalise, Author ; Paudyal, K.P., Author ; Srivastava S.P., Author ; Thakur, M.K., Author ; ,Subedi, H.P., Author ; K. Bhandari, Author Pagination: 1-8 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Citrus aurantifolia, Poncirus trifoliata, shoot-tip, callus, graft success, spread and
canopy volumeAbstract: A field experiment was conducted at National Citrus Research Program (NCRP), Paripatle,
Dhankuta to determine the best grafting height for the highest success of grafting and the maximum
growth of sapling during r' January to 30'h December, 2010. Scions were collected from the
mother plant 'NCRP-49' grown under screen house and grafted on to one-year-old trifoliate orange
seedling rootstocks by shoot-tip method at 4 em, 8 em, 12 em, 16 em and 20 em height from the
collar region as the treatment. The grafts were planted inside the closed tunnel made from bamboo
splits, jute and plastic sheet at JOx8 em spacing in 64x/OO em experimental plots laid out in
randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications containing 80 grafts per plot.
Treatments were allotted on the experimental plots randomly. The success of grafting was not
affected by the height of grafting, however growth of sapling was found significantly affected by the
height of grafting. Observation taken on sapling after one year of grafting revealed that the
maximum scion height (42.13 em), the highest number of/eaves per sapling (47.50), the highest
growth of scion diameter (55.61%), maximum length of primary branches (31.19 em), maximum
number of secondary branches per sapling ((3.24), the highest length of secondary branches (11.59
em), the highest canopy volume (15440 cm3
) and the highest graft spread (24.35 em) were found on
sapling grafted at 16 em height of the trifoliate orange rootstock. Hence, from the study it is
concluded that the most suitable height of grafting acid lime on trifoliate orange rootstock was 16

Title : Present Status of Citrus Nursery Business in Dhankuta District Material Type: printed text Authors: B. Chalise, Author ; Paudyal, K.P., Author ; Srivastava S.P., Author ; K. Bhandari, Author Pagination: 1-8 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Sapling, trifoliate orange, mother stock, shoot-tip grafting, nursery business. Abstract: Studies were conducted in Dhankuta district/a find the real situation of citrus nursery business in the
district during March-April, 2012. During the studies, jive n~~rseries were selected and similar sets of
questionnaires were prepared and given to fill to the nursery owners. Direct field observation,
measurement, personnel communication and secondary data were used during the study. From the
study it was revealed that 11 nurseries were producing saplings in Dlwnkuta, out of which six
nurseries were legally operated Most of them were producing grafted saplings while others producing
both grafted sapling and seedling. All the nurseries werefozmd to be located above 1000 meter above
mean sea level. The shoot-tip metl?od of grafting was found to be the most common method of grafting
onto trifoliate orange seedling rootstock at ve1y low height ranging from 6 em to 15 cm due to the poor
growth of the seedling. Most of the nurseries were maintaining the mother stock inside the screen
house but scions were taken from the open field mother plant. Major problems of(aising mother slock
inside I he screen house were high occurrence of citrus scales, aphids, white flies and sooty mould. The
age of sapling during selling time was found to be 6 month in most of the nurseries indicating high
demand of the sapling. Hardly, some saplings remained for the next year to sell. The income of the
citrus nurseries ranged from NRs. 300,000 to 660,575 per annum. Leaf miner, scale insect, lemon dog.
twig borers were the important insect pests while damping-off, powdery mildew, root rot, sooty mold
and twig blight were the major diseases of/he nurseries.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=421 Present Status of Citrus Nursery Business in Dhankuta District [printed text] / B.
