Title : Propagation Studies in Jamun [Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels] under Rainfed Conditions

Abstract :

Investigation on propagation of jamun under rainfed conditions of Jammu sub-tropics was carried out in the year 2019-20, with four different methods i.e. T-budding, patch budding, tongue grafting and wedge grafting during three different timings viz. 4th week of July, 2nd week of August and 4th week of August under open field conditions. The results of the study indicated that among various methods and different timings of propagation, significantly minimum days taken to bud sprouting (16.45 days) were observed in wedge grafting performed during 4th week of July. Whereas, higher length in scion wood (39.90 cm), per cent sprouting (64.00 %) and success (59.66 %) was observed in wedge grafting during 2nd week of August. After 180 days of jamun propagation, maximum number of shoots (9.47) shoot length (49.68 cm), average leaf area (20.76 cm2) and plant height (89.70 cm) were recorded in wedge grafting performed during 2nd week of August, while, maximum stock-scion ratio was observed as 1.95 in patch budding performed during 2nd week of August.
