Abstract:
The present investigation carried out during 2022-23 in winter season at Horticulture Nursery, VNMKV, Parbhani. The experiment was laid out in FRBD (Factorial Randomized Block Design) with two factors, factor A consist of 3 storage conditions of graft i.e. S1: Poly house, S2: Shade net and S3: Open field condition and factor B consist of capping material i.e. C1: Pepsi bag, C2: Plastic bag and C3: Without capping with three replications. The experiment was farmed to study the effect of storage conditions and capping material on success and survival of softwood graft in Jamun. Observation on success and survival of individual treatments were recorded. The results of the present investigation revealed that, The effect of storage conditions of graft indicated that the storage at poly house (S1) recorded minimum days required for sprouting (12.10), maximum number of successful grafts (26.00), number of survival of graft (26.88), percent success of graft (86.63%), percent survival graft (89.60%) and recorded minimum percent mortality of graft (10.35%). The effect of capping material indicated that the capping with pepsi bag (C1) recorded minimum number of days require for sprouting (12.43), maximum number of successful graft (24.77), number of survival graft (26.11), percent success of graft (82.57%), percent survival graft (87.00%) and recorded minimum percent mortality of graft (12.94%).The interaction effect of storage condition and capping material indicated that the treatment S1C1 (Poly house + Pepsi bag) recorded minimum number of days require for sprouting (11.43), maximum number of successful graft (27.33), number of survival graft (27.66), percent success of graft (91.10%), percent survival graft (92.20%) and recorded minimum percent mortality of graft (7.73%).
