 ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out at tarai conditions of Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar. The experiment was laid out in split-split plot design with three replications. The experiment consisted of (i) two cultivars viz., NA-7 and Francis (ii) two seasons i.e. spring and rainy season and (iii) four propagation methods viz., cleft grafting, tongue grafting, patch budding and T budding under open field condition. Minimum time (12.42 days) taken for sprouting was obtained in cv. NA-7 during spring season through T budding. Cultivar NA-7 through cleft grafting during rainy season showed maximum rootstock diameter (0.80 cm) and scion diameter (0.75 cm) however, maximum number of leaves (37.00) were obtained in cv. NA-7 during spring season through cleft grafting. It was observed that among all propagation techniques patch budding with cultivar NA-7 was found most adaptable to obtain higher success and survivability of grafts.  Mid June to October (rainy season) was found to be the suitable period for aonla propagation.

Key words: Aonla, Propagation, Patch budding, Rainy season
