Abstract: The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different rootstocks (Dogridge, 110R and 140Ru) on graft success, growth parameters and photosynthetic activity in Thompson Seedless, Manjari Medika and Manjari Kishmish grape varieties. Growth parameters such as trunk girth, number of canes/vine and leaf area varied significantly on different rootstocks. The stock: scion ratio varied significantly in Thompson Seedless while in Manjari Medika and Manjari Kishmish, the differences were non-significant. Graft success showed non-significant differences in Thompson Seedless and Manjari Kishmish while significant difference in Manjari Medika grafted on different rootstocks. Physiological parameters such as transpiration rate and stomatal conductance showed significant effect on different rootstocks while assimilation rate showed significant effect in Manjari Kishmish.
