Abstract : Experiments during the 1986-87 season with the cv. Dushehari involved grafting onto seedlings 5, 10 or 15 days after emergence from unshelled seeds (stone grafting) and compared 5 grafting methods. Results indicated that stone grafting carried out from mid-Aug. to mid-Sep. on 10-day-old rootstock seedlings gave 50-55% success. Scion shoots 4- to 4.5-months-old were most suitable. The success with splice (57%), side (46%) and veneer (40%) grafting was better than with wedge (27%) and saddle (24%) grafting.
