Abstract: The present investigation entitled Studies on success of softwood grafts in different custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) cultivars was undertaken at Custard Apple Research Station, Ambajogai during 2016-2017, to evaluation of softwood grafts for success and survival of different cultivars. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with 07 treatments viz. Dharur-6, Dharur-3, TP-7, Balanagar, Arka Sahan, Red Sitaphal and Purandar Local at nursery stage with three replications. The results indicated that, the minimum days required for sprouting (10.00), maximum number of graft sprouted (28.67), final survival (89.47 %), fresh weight of shoot (44.41 g), fresh weight of root (25.27 g), dry weight of shoot (13.67 g) and dry weight of root (9.25 g) were recorded in treatment T₅ (Arka Sahan). Therefore, treatment T₅ (Arka Sahan) have performed better for most of the traits under study.
