An investigation was carried out to know the effect of age of rootstocks on budding success percentage of jackfruit. Patch budding was done on 2, 4, 6, and 8 months old rootstocks of jackfruit using variety NSP as scion material. The budded plants were kept under open sunlight for four weeks and observed for budding success. Maximum budding success (90%), sprouting success (71.11%), sprout length (20.79 cm), number of leaves (11.67) and diameter of bud sprout (2.89 mm) was recorded on two months old rootstocks followed by four months old rootstocks (budding success (84%), sprouting success (66.67%), sprout length (20.44 cm), number of leaves (11.07) and diameter of bud sprout (2.75mm) and six months old rootstocks (budding success (78%), sprouting success (66.67%), sprout length (18.16 cm), number of leaves (10.13) and diameter of bud sprout (2.66 mm). While, minimum budding success was recorded in eight months old rootstocks (budding success (76%), sprouting success (65.79%), sprout length (18.55cm), number of leaves (7.87) and diameter of bud sprout (2.94 mm). From this study it could be concluded that patch budding using two to four months old rootstocks gave higher budding success in vegetative propagation of jackfruit by budding.
