Grafting was done in month of April 2012 from the result of experiment. It can be concluded that among different days tested, 8 days prior defoliation recorded highest growth and survival than 4 days prior defoliation and on the day of grafting respectively from different storage condition for scion sticks P₂ shows significantly superior in growth character than P₁ and P₀, while survival percentage found maximum P₀ than P₁ and P₂.
