Abstract:
The investigation entitled “To find out the appropriate type of healing chamber and stage for acclimatization in Brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) Grafts" was undertaken at College of Horticulture, DBSKKV, Dapoli (M.S.) during the year 2020-2021. The experiment was conducted in split plot design (SPD) with eight treatments and three replications. The treatments comprise; T₁- Polycarbonate Polyhouse + 4 DAG, T₂-Polycarbonate Polyhouse + 5 DAG, T₃- Polycarbonate Polyhouse + 6 DAG, T₄- Polycarbonate Polyhouse + 7 DAG, T₅- Shade net + 4 DAG, T₆- Shade net + 5 DAG, T₇- Shade net + 6 DAG, T₈ - Shade net + 8 DAG. The different treatments studied in which the treatment T₆ Shade net + 4 DAG recorded the minimum days required for graft union (7.03 days), highest survival (%) at 7 (100%), 14 (97.39%) and 21 (61.11%) days after grafting and maximum girth at graft union at 7 (1.97 mm), 14 (1.98 mm) and 21 (2.00 mm) days after grafting respectively.
