Field Grafting of Sweet Pecan to Bitter Pecan Rootstock in Seasonally Flooded Bottomlands

Four grafting techniques were used to join sweet pecan (Carya illinoensis Wang) K. Koch) scions to bitter pecan (C. aquatica (Michaux) Nuttall) rootstock in seasonally flooded bottomlands of northern Louisiana. Dormant season grafts resulted in negligible survival; however, inlay bark grafting, a non-dormant-season technique, resulted in a 76% survival rate. Differences in origins of scion material had a significant effect on survivability, whereas degree of crown closure above the grafted trees and origin of scion material were related to scion growth rates.
