VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION OF CASHEW - REVIEW OF WORK DONE AT BAPATLA |
| Author: | S.N. RAO |
| Abstract:
Air-layering with saw dust as the rooting medium gave 100 per cent rooting during monsoon months. In the rainy season callusing (10 days) and root initiation (25 days) were faster as compared to other seasons. Ground layering was equally successful in rainy season. Although inarching gave 52 to 96 per cent success from July to December on seven months old seedlings, graft union was defective. Among the various methods of budding, patch budding was successful in 41 per cent cases. There was no success with side grafting while veneer grafting on seedlings gave 96 per cent success in July and complete failure in May. Vegetative propagation in cashew through stem and root cultings was not successful. | |
