Experiment code 16.4.3.47
Experiment Title Effect of type and height of rootstock for grafting in Moon Cactus
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background Ornamental pot plant industry is having great demand at global level, which we need to explore and standardize production protocol for the same in our state. Coloured cactus grafted also known as moon cactus are gaining popularity and are highly priced in the market. It has good export value also and high demand at national and international level. It involves grafting of gynocalycium on Hylocereus. However, there is no systematic study with regard to standardization of grafting technique in colored cactus. .
