Results are reported from two preliminary experiments conducted at Ejura sub-station of the Crops Research Institute, Kumasi, Ghana, to ascertain what time or times of the year were optimal for patch-budding and/or splice grafting two exotic cultivars of mango, Keitt and Haden,and which of the two methods was preferable under local conditions. There were no significant differences between the two cultivars in their response to either patch-budding or splice-grafting. Patch-budding was more efficient(PO.O I) than splice-grafting with regard to the take of the graft unions of the two cultivars. There were significant differences (PO.O I) between results of patch-budding carried out in August or September, and patch-budding carried out in the other months tested. Since only two grafting techniques were adopted and compared, there is need for more extensive work using several other techniques in order to draw widely applicable conclusions.
