Summary

In jamun, bud sprouting was early in June and July. Budding method proved superior to grafting when it was performed in June. The success was poor from February to May. Budding in May resulting in significantly maximum shoot length, shoot diameter and number of functional leaves. Total and soluble N contents were higher in root-stock than scion. February recorded significantly higher content of total and soluble N but isoluble N differed non-significantly. Carbohydrate and phenol content was higher in rootstock than in scion. The C: N ratio did not differ significantly between rootstock and scion. May recorded highest C:N ratio. Protein content was significantly higher in rootstock in February.
