Abstract: Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is one of the main crops in Vietnam. Currently, Vietnam is biggest black pepper producer globally and the crop has brought millions of US dollars to Vietnam economy. However, in recent years pepper plantation has been dying off thousands of hectares due to phytophthora capsici, a soil borne pathogen. Using resistant piper species as rootstock is considered an alternative option to control phytophthora capsici. This study was carried out to investigate suitable grafting methods and compatible grafts. Two way factor experiment consisting of six treatments and 3 replications was conducted. Piper colubrinum, piper betle large leaves and piper betle small leaves were used as rootstocks materials. They are being grafted by piper nigrum as scions in two grafting techniques: Splice graft and Cleft graft. Growth parameters such as successful rate (%), scion height (cm), scion diameter (mm), number of leaves and scion dry biomass (g/graft) were recorded after 30 days, 45 days, 60 days, 75 days and 90 days of grafting. The results showed that Cleft graft was better than Splice graft. Piper nigrum grafted on piper colubrinum by Cleft technique showed highest growth parameter as well as dry weight.
