Abstract : Five to 15 cm long scion shoots of the mango cv. Dusehri, defoliated 15 days before or immediately before grafting, were veneer grafted on mango seedlings on the 15th day of each month between January and August. Grafting success was on average 20, 80 and 40% with 5, 10 and 15 cm long scions, respectively. Better results were obtained with pre-defoliated scions than with freshly defoliated ones. The best months for grafting were June, July and August, during which 100% take could be expected.
