Hamdi Zenginbal, Muharrem Ozcan and Taki Demir

Abstract: The experiment was conducted to standardize the methods and time of grafting in kiwi propagation. In this study, Hayward scion was used as grafting scion 4 years old seedling rootstock in the field conditions. Four grafting methods (cleft grafting by machine, cleft grafting by hand, whip and splice) were performed on three different dates (1st January, 1st February and 1st March). According to the results of this trial, all grafting methods and grafting times were successful to kiwi propagation. However, the highest mean bud-take rate, sprouting rate, shoot diameter and shoot length were recorded with whip and splice graftings performed on 1st February. The cleft grafting by machine gave the lowest results.
