Effect of Rootstock Height and Scionstick Length on Guava Grafting

The success of grafting and its survival play an important role in orcharding.Though work on this grafting method was carried out, the information regarding the height of rootstock and length of scion stick at the time of grafting and subsequent effect is very meager. Rootstock height plays a most important role as from which height the grafting operation can be done for maximum success and its subsequent growth. Grafting at too low a height can create the problem of rot disease at the point of union of the sapling after plantation. Scion stick length also plays the most important role in the success and growth of grafted plants. The longer scion has more food materials reserved that enhance early bud break and leaf opening, resulting in maximum plant growth. The output of this research work will help nurserymen make their nursery more economical by producing more good quality grafts.
