Özet

The kiwifruit cultivar Hayward was grafted on three-year-old seedling rootstocks of the same cultivar in field conditions. Inverted T-budding, chip-budding, conventional local T-budding by hand, and chip-budding with manual grafting unit were used as budding types. All budding operations were done on the 15th of May in 2002 and 2003. The hand chip budding gave the highest bud-take (98.34%), sprouting rate (91.67%), shoot diameter (6.84 mm) and shoot length (58.07 cm). The manual chip-budding grafting unit also performed well but it was more time-consuming and gave lower graft success
