Abstract
The study was carried out to determine the different grafting methods and times on the grafting success and plant development in ‘Sarı Alıç’ hawthorn genotype (Crataegus azarolus L.) on Crataegus monogyna L. rootstock in Hatay province, eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey. T and chip budding and whip grafting methods were conducted on February 15, March 01, March 15, April 01, April 15, May 01 and May 15 dates in 2016. The grafting take and bud sprout percentages, graft shoot development and shoot diameter were also investigated. The results of the study showed that graft success and plant development were affected by grafting times and methods. The mean highest bud sprout percentage (71.91%) was found in whip grafting whereas mean graft shoot development (55.18 cm) and diameter (5.57 mm) were detected in T budding. The bud sprout ratio was the highest on April 01 and April 15 (84.44% and 77.77%, respectively). The results showed that whip grafting method applied within March and April months was very successful for growing of ‘Sarı Alıç’ hawthorn genotype in Hatay, Turkey ecological conditions.
