Abstract


Jamun (Syzygium cumini Skeels.) is one of the important minor indigenous fruit crops of India with multifarious uses. The propagation of jamun by softwood grafting was tried at University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during 2006-07. The grafting was done at monthly interval from August (2006) to June (2007) under open as well as controlled conditions.
