To evaluate the effects of timing and methods of budding on apricot propagation using peach rootstock.
Conducted under field conditions in a factorial randomized complete block design.
Budded apricot cv. Newcastle at 15-day intervals from July 15 to September 30.
Utilized four budding methods: T-budding, Patch budding, Chip budding, and Ring budding. Observed multiple growth parameters.
Earliest bud sprout occurred on July 15 at 78.588 days.
Chip budding showed the highest survival rate of 67.9%.
The best performance was observed with July 15 and chip budding, resulting in sprout lengths of 53.3 cm and a survival rate of 85%.
