Abstract
In this report we studied about the effect of different propagation method (i.e softwood, wedge, and patch budding), time (15th Feb. – 29th Feb 2024, 1st April – 15th April.) and Variety for scion (Goma Priyanka and Thar Kranti) in Jamun (Syzygium cumini Skeels.) under southern Region. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Complete Randomized Design. In all twenty-four-treatment combination with three replications. The results revealed that softwood grafting during 1st April – 15th April with scion Goma Priyanka had significantly increase graft success (80.60%), maximum number of leaves per plant (12.05), number of shoot per plant (4.14), leaf area (14.22cm2), plant height (36.50cm), sprouting per centage (83.28) after propagation on desi jamun rootstock.
