Abstract:

The experiment entitled “Effect of potting media and bag size on rebagging jamun (Syzygium cumunni) grafts under Konkan agroclimatic conditions” was carried out at college of Horticulture, Dapoli. Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli. Dist. Ratnagiri (Maharashtra) during 2020-21 and 2021-22. The objectives of studies were to find out the effect of potting media and to standardize bag size on sprouting, survival and growth of propagation of jamun and laidout in Randomized Block Design. The experiment comprised of eleven treatments i.e., T1- Bag size 6″×8″ with media Soil + FYM (3:1)– (Absolute Control), T2- Bag size 8″×10″ with media Soil + FYM (3:1), T3- Bag size 8″×10″ with media Soil + Vermicompost (2:1), T4- Bag size 8″×10″ with media Soil + Vermicompost (1:1),T5- Bag size 8″×10″ with media Soil + Vermicompost+ Rice husk (1:1:1), T6- Bag size 8″×10″ with media Soil + FYM+ Rice husk (1:1:1),T7- Bag size 10″×14″ with media Soil + FYM (3:1), T8-Bag size 10″×14″ with media Soil + Vermicompost (2:1), T9 -Bag size 10″×14″ with media Soil + Vermicompost (1:1), T10 - Bag size 10″×14″ with media Soil + Vermicompost+ Rice husk (1:1:1) and T11 -Bag size 10″×14″ with media Soil + FYM+ Rice husk (1:1:1) which were replicated thrice. The significantly maximum plant height (117.85 cm), girth above union (10.87 mm), maximum number of leaves (43.03), number of shoots (7.44), number of nodes (11.08) was recorded in T11. The fastest absolute growth rate (0.458 cm/day), relative growth rate (0.0240 cm/cm/day) was found in T10. The maximum fresh weight of grafts (171.91 g), longest length of root (50.91 cm), highest number of adventitious roots (92.82) and dry weight of root (35.02 g) was recorded in treatment T11.
