The grafting operation performed in greenhouse gave significantly (P=0.05) higher success of grafts (64.56- 94.33%) as compared to open field conditions (51.30-78.63%) in both the cultivars. However, maximum success of grafts was obtained in greenhouse (88.63-94.33%) as well as in open field conditions (66.6-78.63%) when grafting was carried out during November to February in both cultivars. Grafting under greenhouse significantly reduced the time taken (11-13 days) for sprouting than, those grafted in open field conditions. Interaction effect of variety x greenhouse x month, variety x open field conditions x months and variety x factors (GWOFC) x months had significant effect on success of grafts and earliness in grafts sprouting when grafting was performed in winter months. The temperature range of 20°C to 26°C and RH 70 to 80 per cent were found most conductive for maximum (&gt70% ) success.  aEnxerto  aGoiaba  aCasa de Vegetação  aMultiplicação rapida1 aGUPTA, S.1 aMISHRA, R.1 aSINGH, A.  tActa Horticulturae, Leuvengn. 735, p. 177-183, mar. 2007.
