Grading and Budding

Grading and Budding

      Grafting
    • Jamun can be propagated by inarching, where seedlings are used as rootstock and June-July is the best time for inarching. Veneer grafting has also been successful if done in July with the spring flush.
      Budding:
    • It is done on one year old seedling stocks during July to August in low rainfall area. It is done in spring – about 60% rooted air layers are obtained when 500 ppm IBA in lanolin paste is used. Cuttings treated with 2000ppm IBA gave higher rooting. In grafting or budding, S. densiflora is used as root stock to impart resistance to termite attack.
