ABSTRACT
Three methods of grafting peach viz., Tongue grafting, Cleft grafting and Side grafting were tried on desi peach seedling rootstock using peach cv. Shan-e-Punjab as scion, on seven different dates starting from 15th November to 15th February at 15 days interval. Tongue grafting proved to be the best method of grafting irrespective of time and was early to sprout and showed maximum bud take success and growth parameters of scion with respect to, scion length, scion girth and number of leaves on all the dates. Among various dates tried for grafting of peach cv.
