Abstract
Among the propagation methods of mango, grafting is the most common method, but growers do not have enough knowledge about the suitable time and grafting methods of this fruit tree. This problem is the most important factor in production of grafted mango plants. This experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with factorial arrangement and 10 replications. Factors included the time of grafting with levels of (4 and 19 April, 5 May, 6 and 21 August, 6 and 21 September, 7 and 22 October and 15 November) and two grafting methods (vener side graft and cleft graft). Rootstocks were seedling and scions taken from a single plant of mango cv. ″Langra″. Results showed that the best time for grafting was 4 April with 100 percent and cleft graft with 85 percent success was better than whip grafting. After 60 days from each grafting times, plants that grafted in 4 and 19 April had higher growth. In general, it could be concluded that in Roudan city grafting with cleft method on 4-19 April is suitable for propagation of mango.
