Raising of seedlings

• Rootstocks are raised from the seeds extracted from healthy fruits and stored for 100 days by treating with ferulic acid at 10-30 Molar concentration.
• Potassium nitrate also used at 1 per cent to prolong storage of seeds.
• The seedlings will be ready for grafting in 45-60 days after sowing.
• The layers should be treated with 1BA 10,000 ppm for better rooting.
