Abstract:
The present investigation on the standardization of method and time of propagation in Pear (Pyrus communis L.) was experimented during ten different months, viz. 08th June, 08^th July, 07^th August, 06^th September, 06^th October, 05^th November, 05^th December, 04th January, 3^th February and 05^th March with three different methods, i.e. tongue grafting, air layering, and hardwood cutting during the year 2022-23. It was observed that among all propagation methods, tongue grafting was found to be most superior in terms of the percent success at 70 days (62.00%), scion diameter (0.84 cm) of cutting and grafting, rootstock diameter (1.14 cm) of cutting and grafting, number of branches, leaf area, survival % than air layering in terms of the days to bud intake, number of branches, plant height, number of primary roots and number of secondary roots.
