Abstract : One-month-old polyembryonic seedling rootstocks (cultivars Muvandan, Chandrakaran, Puliyan, Olior or Tholikaipan) and a monoembryonic seedling rootstock (cv. Bangalora) were grafted in June, July or August in Kerala, India, with the mango cultivars Neelum or Banganapally. Grafting success was dependent on the speed of graft union formation. Grafting success was highest (96.67%) in Muvandan and Chandrakaran grafted with cv. Neelum during June and survival was highest (76.67%) in Puliyan grafted with cv. Banganapally during August.
