Abstract: An investigation was carried out to see the effect of different grafting dates and wrapping materials on success of softwood grafting in Custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) cv. GJCA-1 under Saurashtra condition during Feb- August of the year 2017 at Lalbaugh Farm, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh (Gujarat). The treatments comprised of seven different grafting dates and two different wrapping materials. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with factorial concept and replicated three times. The results revealed that amongst different grafting dates and wrapping materials grafting done on 01.04.2017 with graft tied with degradable tape observed significantly minimum days for sprouting (12.66), maximum sprouted graft (100%) at 60 and 90 DAG, highest no. of opened leaves (20.49 and 21.80) on scion at 60 and 90 DAG and graft survival (90%) at 60 and 90 DAG as compared to other treatments.
