Abstract : Propagation studies in mango with epicotyl grafting were carried out with three lengths of scion stick. The maximum number of sprouted grafts, maximum sprouting percentage, minimum days for leaf emergence, maximum number of leaves per graft, minimum mortality (%) and maximum survival (%) of grafts were recorded in grafts when they were made using 10 cm long scion sticks. The maximum growth in terms of height and girth (above the union) were recorded in grafts made with use of 20 cm long scion sticks.
