A Review on Recent Developments on Propagating Mango (Mangifera indica L.) through Grafting

Abstract

Mango is propagated by both sexual and vegetative propagation. Various methods of propagation include softwood, veneer grafting, side grafting, and epicotyl grafting, which are most commonly found in India. Factors such as environmental factors, varieties, growing seasons, shoot age, rootstock age, scion wrapping technique, shoot maturity and rootstock, etc. all of these have an impact on the success and survivability of mango grafting. When compared to a season of the year, rainy season transplant in mango shows good growth and survival percentage results. Most common grafting are inarching, side grafting, wedge grafting, and veneer grafting, but the cheap, easy and fast grafting was stone grafting, which they produce in a shorter time and area in good quantity and quality. This method is widely used in the states of Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Kerala. The months of July -August, September -October shows the higher grafting success. Grafting can only be carried out between closely related species. The biggest advantage of grafting is that it changes the properties of the plant and makes it superior to its mother plant.

Comparative Effects of Varieties and Rootstock Age on Success and Survival Rate of Epicotyl Grafting in Mango (Mangifera Indica L.)

“…Mango (Mangifera indica) belongs to the Anacardiaceae family; it is the choicest, traded, popular and widely cultivated fruit in the world (Naik & Kumar, 2020). Due to its appealing color, delicious flavor, and high nutritional value, mango has long been regarded as the "king of fruits" and is currently thought to be the most valuable tropical fruit (Ullah et al, 2017).…”
