Abstract : Two- to 4-month-old Dashehari scion shoots were defoliated 6 days before epicotyl grafting onto 7-, 10-, 15- and 21-day-old mango seedlings. The receptivity to grafting was inversely proportional to the age of the seedling, and the success rate was higher in Aug. (the hottest, most humid month) than in July and Sep. Some Sep. grafted scions remained green and did not sprout until the following spring.
