Samiullah ., Syed Asghar Hussain, Abdur Rab and Haji Mohammad

Abstract: A research project "Side grafting and various scion parts interaction in guava" was carried out at Government Fruit Nursery Farm, Jabban, Dargai Malakand Agency during 2002-2003. Three scion parts i.e. Apical, Middle, Basal and two grafting methods i.e. side veneer and side T. grafting were studied. The experiment was laid out according to Randomized Complete Block design with two factorial arrangement. Maximum graft take success (77.5%), survival percentage (27.9) and percent saleable plants (97.6) were recorded in plants developed from middle scion part whereas minimum of these parameters were recorded by apical scion part. Significantly maximum scion length (99.0 cm) was by using basal scion part, In grafting methods, maximum scion length (81.8 cm), graft take success (75.0%), survival percentage (34.4) and percent saleable plant (95.7) were recorded in plant propagated through side veneer grafting. In interaction of various scion parts and grafting methods, Side veneer grafting using middle scion part resulted in better success and growth of guava.
