The experiment was conducted for two consecutive years at CHES, Vejalpur (Godhra), Gujarat to standardize time of softwood grafting in chironji (Buchanania lanzan Spreng.). Softwood grafting was carried out at monthly interval commencing July to June. Bud sprout (68.00%) and graft success (66.66%), were noted highest in July. Length of sprout and number of leaves were recorded highest in March. Irrespective of scion and rootstock, maximum accumulation of nitrogen and carbohydrate contents were recorded in March. Softwood grafting in July may be adopted for multiplication of elite chironji genotypes.
