Abstract: The experiment was conducted at Horticulture Research Station, Orissa University of Agriculture & Technology, College of Agriculture, and Bhubaneswar during 2016 - 2017. The treatment comprises of four grafting seasons (20th June, 20th July, 20th August and 20th September) and three scion precuring periods (0 days, 5 days and 10 days) have been tried in a Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The results revealed that among the four grafting seasons, 20th July recorded the minimum days required for first bud sprouting (17.02) and maximum values in characters like percentage of graft success (79.22%), number of bud sprouts per graft (1.38). In respect to different scion precuring periods, minimum number of days taken for first bud sprouting (18.20), maximum values in characters like percentage of graft success (63.11%), number of bud sprouts per graft (1.38), were observed in 10 days precured scions. The combined effect of the above two factors had also significant influence on most of the parameters studied.
