Muhammad Akram, Nasir M.Z. Nawaz, A. Baksh and M.A. Summrah

This experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Research Station, Nowshera, Soany Valley, Khushab during 1997-98. Various rootstocks viz. Wild apricot (Hari), peach and almond were tested for almond scion on the basis of their effect on grafting success, scion thickness, stock thickness and height of grafted plants, Maximum grafting success (69.33) stock and scion girths (4.35 and 4.07), plant height (45.0 cm) when almond scion was grafted on almond stock during 1997. Almost similar trend was noted during 1998, However, peach rootstock performed better than Hari rootstock during both years. Conclusively almond rootstock is recommended for almond propagation in the Pothohar tract.
