- Abstract
Jamun (Euginea jambolana) is mostly propagated through seeds, which exhibit a great variation due to inevitable heterozygosity. For producing pedigree plants of a variety, the presence of any asexual propagational technique is prerequisite. For this purpose, nursery experiments were conducted at Horticultural Research Institute, AARI, Faisalabad during the year 2009-10 and 2010-11 for standardization of asexual propagational technique in jamun. Three grafting techniques i.e. T-budding, T-grafting and cleft grafting were studied. On the basis of two years means, maximum success percentage (65.25%) was measured in the plants budded by T-grafting. The plants sprouted in 30.50 days and produced 13.5 number of leaves on 27 cm long twig. Minimum success (10.75%) was measured in cleft grafting. The results provided useful information on clonal multiplication of elite germplasm of jamun in vitro for developing commercial nurseries.
