Abstract

Propagation of mango is mainly through grafts. The recalcitrant nature of the seed interferes with the production of quality root stalk. Studies with different storage techniques in two different cultivars of mango viz. Neelum and Goa revealed that stones stored in ash and wet gunny bags retained viability for a maximum period of ten weeks. Stones sown immediately after removing the pulp had the maximum germination of 73 per cent. Storing the seeds in mud pots, saw dust and under shade was least effective.
