Abstract:
A study using three different growing media and six storage duration of mango stones for success and survival of softwood grafts. The treatment M3S0 containing mixture of soil + FYM + leaf mould with zero week storage of stone recorded the least time to sprouting (13.27 days), highest graft height (29.29 cm), scion girth of grafts (4.63 mm), shoot length of scion (11.92 cm), number of leaves (11.07), length (39.68 cm) and girth (7.97 mm) of tap root.
