Abstract: The present study was conducted during 2017-18 to investigate the impact of grafting methods on performance of peach cv. Shan-e-Punjab as scion cultivar on wild peach rootstock. Three methods of propagation were employed viz., tongue grafting, chip budding and T-budding. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 13 treatments and replicated thrice. Peach seedlings were grafted on 20th January, 10th February and 20th February. Whereas, chip budding was practiced on 20th January, 10th February, 20th February, 1st June, 20th June, 10th July, 10th August and 30th August. T-budding carried out on 10th and 30th August. The results obtained indicated that sprouting percentage (97.78%), per cent success (97.78%), plant height (128.67 cm), number of branches (11.63) and stem girth were highest in T1 (Tongue grafting on 20th January), whereas, days taken to 50 per cent sprouting was found maximum in T4 (chip budding on 20th January). Therefore, it was concluded that tongue grafting on 20th January, 2017 is best method of propagation for peach cv. Shan-e-Punjab in Tarai condition of Uttarakhand.
