Abstract : The success of mango veneer grafting was not affected by scion lengths, which varied from 2.5 to 10 cm, but subsequent growth was greater with the longer scions. Grafting with scions from non-flowering shoots was 90% successful, compared with 70% for flowering shoots. Dampened scion material wrapped in plastic was successfully stored at room temperature for 6-9 days during April and June and for shorter periods in May and July. In splice, saddle and wedge grafting experiments carried out between August and November up to 80% success was achieved with splice grafting but survival was poor. Mango stools observed for 7 years each produced an average of 4-5 rooted shoots annually.
