Abstract

Green line is the main element of vegetation known to naturally function as an atmospheric cleaner by absorbing pollutants in the form of gases and particles through leaves. These characteristics are seen in bougainvillea, which is a recommended tolerant ornamental plant. Generally, bougainvilleas are propagated with grafting for increasing their performance. The technique of grafting involves merging the rootstock with the scion of a different plant, leading to the formation of a union that continues to grow into new plants. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to determine the best type of top grafting on the performance of bougainvillea, conducted in the experimental garden, Faculty of Agriculture, UPN "Veteran” Yogyakarta between October and December 2019. In addition, the site was located on altitude 191 m above sea level, and the experiment involved the use of Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three top grafting treatments, encompassing cleft, slash, and side grafting. Based on the results, it is concluded that grafting with the side method produces a better performance than the others, based on the number of days to sprout, as well as the longest shoot length, and shoot number. Furthermore, side techniques provided more percentage grafting to live, determined by linkage success between the scion and rootstock vessels of bougainvillea plant.
