Pure App. Biosci. 5 (5): 1445-1451 (2017) ABSTRACT An experiment was carried out to study the effect of variety and time of grafting on graft survivability at University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot. The results revealed that among the six scion varieties, significantly the highest graft survivability (%) was noticed in Baneshan (88.50 and 86.00) whereas, the lowest graft survivability (%) noticed in Khadar (55.54 and 48.60) at 90 and 120 DAG respectively. Among the different time of grafting, significantly the highest graft survivability (%) was recoded on 15 th August (72.60 and 66.00) grafted plants at 90 and 120 DAG whereas, the lowest graft survivability (%) noticed on 30 th September (60.30) grafted plants and in 30 th August (54.40) grafted plants at 90 and 120 DAG under polyhouse condition. Under shade net condition, significantly the highest graft survivability (%) noticed in in Baneshan (81.00 and 74.13) at 90 and 120 DAG whereas, the lowest graft survivability (%) noticed in Khadar (48.00 and 43.60) at 90 and 120 DAG. The highest graft survivability (%) recorded on 30 th August (65.50) at 90 DAG whereas, the lowest graft survivability (%) noticed on 15 th August (58.10) grafted plants and at 120 DAG the highest graft survivability (%) noticed on 15 th September (58.34) whereas, the lowest graft survivability (%) noticed on 30 th September (52.54) grafted plants.
