Abstract : Bangalora mango was stone-grafted onto seedling rootstocks and the grafted plants were grown on in polyethylene bags in a glasshouse, a greenhouse, or under partial tree shade, with and without urea (0.5 g/plant) applied to the rootstock 5 days prior to grafting. Grafting success was higher in the glasshouse (51%) than under tree shade (42%) or in the greenhouse (24%). The mean number of days to sprouting was greater for greenhouse plants (17.6 days) than for those under tree shade (16.2 days) or in the glasshouse (15.0 days), due to the higher temperature and humidity within the glasshouse. Urea had no significant effect.
