The present experiment was carried out during 2012-15 at farm nursery of the department of Horticulture, CCSHAU Hisar. The jamun seedling were raised in the nursery bed and poly bags in the month of August, 2012 and patch budding was done in the month of July and August 2013. The experiment was repeated during the year 2013-2015. The germination of seed, bud sprouting and shoot length were higher in nursery beds and plant survival was better in poly bags. The time taken for bud sprouting varies from 31-35 days and the maximum success in terms of per cent bud sprouting (38.3%) and maximum shoot length (31.3 cm) were observed from budding done during 4th week of July in seedling raised in nursery beds. However, maximum plant survival percentage (90%) was recorded from budding done from second week of July to second week of August in poly bags. There was not much variation in the temperature during the period of study. Although the relative humidity ranged from 77 % to 92 %. Hence, it is the growth period of the plant, mainly the cell sap flow, which plays vital role in success of budding.
