Abstract:
The field experiment was carried out at vegetable field, College of Horticulture, Dapoli (M.H), Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkon Krishi Vidyapeeth Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri during rabi season in year 2022-2023. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block design comprising of two factors, fourteen treatments and three replications. Factor: A consisted of two sterilization factors S1: Sterilized media and S0: Non-sterilized media and Factor: B consisted of seven media, i.e. M1- Cocopeat (100%), M2- Cocopeat (75%) + Vermicompost (25%), M3- Cocopeat (50%) + Vermicompost (50%), M4- Cocopeat (25%) + Vermicompost (75%), M5- Cocopeat (75%) + Saw Dust (25%), M6- Cocopeat (75%) + Rice husk (25%) and M7: Soil (50%) + Cocopeat (25%) + Vermicompost (25%).
In rootstock minimum number of days (7.47) were required for germination were recorded in S1M7 interaction, whereas, maximum height (12.70 cm), maximum diameter (1.92 mm) at collar region, maximum number (7.94) of leaves, highest length (8.16 cm) of tap root, maximum number of adventitious roots (15.31), maximum fresh weight (376.61mg), maximum dry weight (13.81 mg), minimum number of days (42.42) required for rootstock to attain graftable stage and highest number of graftable rootstock (93.14%) were found in S1M4 interaction.
In scion minimum number of days (7.09) required for germination were recorded in S1M7 interaction, whereas, maximum height (7.65 cm), maximum diameter (1.87 mm) at collar region, maximum number of leaves (7.65), highest length (8.20 cm) of tap root, highest number of adventitious roots (14.46), maximum fresh weight (232.83 mg), maximum dry weight (14.56 mg), minimum number of days (36.04) required forscion to reach graftable stage and highest number of graftable scion (95.25%) were recorded in S1M4 interaction.
