Abstract
Microbudding technique was explored for early age propagation in Sweet lime, Grapefruit cv. Sham bar and Mandarin cv. Feutrell's early under controlled conditions. The technique showed a successful union in sweet lime (76 %) followed by grapefruit (68 %) and Feutrell's early (44.0%). No significant differences were recorded in plant height while stem girth was much higher in grapefruit compared to other citrus species. The leaf blade length (8.76 cm) was maximum in sweet lime where as minimum was (5.76 cm) in Feutrell's early. Sweet lime and grapefruit performance was at par in relation to width of leaf blade while it was minimum (3.02 cm) in the case of Feutrell's early. Keywords: Microbudding, propagation, citrus
