Özet
Despite favorable agroecological conditions, there is a significant gap between the real demand for hazelnut fruits and the state of production in the Republic of Serbia. However, over the past few decades, hazelnut production has been significantly enhanced through establishing orchards with grafted seedlings. As hazelnut grafting has predominantly relied on the whip and tongue (WT) method until recently, there has been a need to explore other grafting methods (GMs) of Corylus avellana L. on generative rootstocks of Corylus colurna L. Hence, the aim of this study was to comparatively investigate the grafting of three clones (CLs) of C. avellana using four GMs, along with the use of two binding materials (BMs) for graft union. Two-year-old C. colurna rootstocks were grafted during April and May. When the plants entered the dormant phase (in November), they were removed from the soil, counted, and the grafting success and plant quality were determined. The results showed that the applied GMs, selected CLs, and BMs achieved varying grafting success rates and plant quality. Both in terms of the grafting success and in most parameters of the plant quality, the best results were obtained using the simple splice and WT GMs. The omega grafting (OG) method exhibited positive results only in terms of the number of roots formed. Therefore, the OG and especially chip budding techniques cannot be recommended as options when determining production technology in commercial nurseries. The examined CLs showed minor differences in most of the analyzed parameters. Only in terms of grafting success did Clone 3 dominate, while AD 17 stood out with the highest number of roots. Significantly higher grafting success was achieved using stretch film, while the application of grafting tape had a better effect on the graft union diameter.
