Abstract

The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of IAA, BAP and ZnSO4 on sprouting, mortality and survival percentage of epicotyl grafting in mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Kesar at Regional Horticultural Station, NAU, Navsari, during 2015–16. The results revealed that among different treatments BAP 20 mg/litre + 750 mg/litre ZnSO4 was found to be beneficial for maximum number of grafts sprouted, early sprouting, lower mortality and higher survival percentage. The use of zinc sulphate alone or in combination with benzyl amino purine can be successfully utilized for producing healthy and vigorous epicotyl grafts with high survival percentage of mango cv. ‘Kesar’.
