Abstract : In trials in Sabour, Bhagalpur, India, with the mango cultivar Amrapali, wedge grafting onto 10- to 12-day-old seedlings gave better results than splice grafting. For both methods, defoliation of the budwood 6 days before detachment and storage of budwood for 3 days prior to grafting gave the best results in terms of grafting success, survival and overall plant growth.
