Agronomy, Fruit science specialists Can someone suggest possible measures to overcome the success of grafts being very low in jackfruit cuttings?
They may require a source of heat at the point where the graft is on the adjoining stems.
It is the latex that comes in the way of success of grafting, it does not allow the plant hormones to form a successful establishment, appears some sort of treatment is required in this regard
The modified veneer graft, with or without the retention of leaves is among the most successful techniques for grafting the jackfruit. This method requires active scions of 10 to 15 cm with a swollen terminal bud. Other successful techniques include chip budding, cleft and forkert grafts. The key to all of these methods is the vigor of the rootstock and scion, and the preparation of the budwood.
Youc can try soft wood grafting in jackfruit in a humid condition. I hope the following links may help
