Aims to explore the commercial feasibility of using epicotyl grafting and budding to replace the time-consuming traditional cleft and splice grafting methods for mass production of carabao mango. The new methods involve the use of four-week old mango seedlings as stocks and grafting them with scions obtained from superior carabao mango strains. The degree of graft-and-bud-take increases by defoliation of scion prior to epicotyl grafting and budding, using semi-mature scions and employing skilled propagators. Cutting back of the stock just above the point of union after two weeks similarly increases the union-take and hastens growth and development of grafts. Union-take completes four to five weeks after grafting/budding.
