Abstract
This research was conducted to determine the effects of three different grafting periods (March 1, April 1 and May 1) and six grafting methods (tongue, splice, cleft grafting
by hand and cleft, wedge, omega grafting by three different manual grafting tools) on graft success and plant growth in persimmon sapling production. The experiment was carried
out in a randomized complete block design with three replications in Rize, Turkey during 2012–2013. The ‘Hachiya’ persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) were used for grafting scions. Two-year old Diospyros lotus L. seedling were used for rootstocks. In conclusion, graft take percentages varied from 21.7 to 81.7% in 2012, from 10.0 to 73.3% in 2013. Sprouting percentages varied from 11.7 to 73.3% in 2012, from 5.0 to 68.3% in 2013. These parameters, tongue and wedge grafting (with tool) performed on April 1 gave the highest results in both years. Graft shoot lengths varied from 38.6 to 65.7 cm in 2012, from 38.3 to 61.5 cm in 2013. Graft shoot diameters varied from 5.3 to 8.3 mm in 2012, from 5.5 to 7.8 mm in 2013. These parameters, splice grafting performed on April 1 gave the highest results in both years. In generally among all parameters the best type of grafting was tongue and wedge (with tool) grafting. The omega grafting with manual grafting tool gave the lowest results in all parameters. Grafting period on April 1 gave the highest results, May 1 gave the lowest results in all parameters.
