It is a pioneer and good idea to be tried as in case of success it serves dual benefits 1- Propagate mango without the need of mango root stock which needs a lot of time and effort to overcome the problems of the clay soil. 2- Eradicate the aggressively invasive Brazilian pepper trees from the garden in a very useful way not by just killing it.

2. WHY
Mango fails to grow in my garden yellow very
dense clay soil. It is too hard for the roots to
propagate in such poorly aireated hard soil.
on the other hand Brazilian pepper propagates
very aggressively in this clay as well as other
different soil types.

CLAY SOIL

4. WHY NOT
Mango and Brazilian pepper both
are from the same family
family: anacardiaceae which
includes mango, pepper tree,
pistachio, cashew family.
What about the Compatibility?
This is the aim of this trials

5. WHY GRAFTING MANGO SCION ON
BRAZILLIAN PEPPER ROOT STOCK
It is a pioneer and good idea to be tried as in case of success it
serves a dual benefits
1- Propagate mango without the need of mango root stock
which needs a lot of time and effort to overcome the
problems of the clay soil.
2- Eradicate the aggressively invasive Brazilian pepper trees
from the garden in a very useful way not by just killing it.

6. METHODS AND TECHNIQUE
1- Side or top grafting techniques was used.
2- The scion: We use the terminal end of active
branches, all leaves removed sometimes one or one
third of a leave is kept.
3- Root stock: about one year old , strong enough , all
leaves and side branches are removed.
4- Cleaning of scion and root stock by diluted
povidone iodine 1-5% for 3 minutes followed by
cleaning by water using soft cotton or cloths
5- graft protected by transparent nylon bage allowing
visualization of the graft at any time . The bag kept for
3weeks. Occasionally the bag is sprayed from inside by
water to keep the medium humid.

7. EARLY RESULTS
4 out of 7 grafts remain a live up to 7 weeks ( time of preparing this
presentation ) with a 57.1% early success rate.
The 3 failed grafts show the signs of death in 7-10 days started by
darkening and shrinking at the bottom of the scion and progress
proximally over the next days till it involve the top part.
late results will be updated later on as my aim is to pay attention about
this new idea so that a more professionals can carry on to show a better
results.
My faults is that this trial was done on November which is not the proper
timing (February to May is preferable) also the weather was too cold in
Alexandria in this month
