Royal Delicious and Red Chief were found statistically significant on par with Fuji i.e. 80.00%. Results showed the maximum graft success was found on Red Chief and Royal Delicious i.e. 96.67% on both varieties and minimum graft success on Vance Delicious variety i.e. 76.67% (Table 4). The effect of wrapping material on graft success was found to be non-significant. Graft tied with polyethylene plastic showed 85% graft success. Graft tied with grafting tape showed 90% graft success. The interaction between scion and wrapping material was found to be non-significant.
