An experiment was conducted at Horticulture Nursery, Shaheed Gundadhur College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh during 2021-22 to identify the suitable month for grafting under different environmental conditions in cashew. Grafting was performed in five different months i.e., June, July, August, September, and October and grafts are placed in three conditions i.e., open condition, shade net, and mist chamber. Thus, in total, there were 15 treatment combinations that were replicated thrice under a factorial randomized complete block design. Among the individual effect of the month of grafting, July recorded the least days taken to sprouting (15.50) whereas August recorded the highest graft success (88.33 %), shoot height (25.88 cm), graft height (44.10 cm), graft diameter (0.661 cm), number of leaves (7.43), leaf area (29.71 cm2), graft fresh weight (25.90 g), graft dry weight (7.71 g), root volume (7.17 cm3), root to shoot ratio (0.306) and graft survival (92.38 %). Among the environmental conditions, mist chamber showed superiority over open and shade net conditions. Among the interactions between the treatments, the minimum days taken to sprouting was recorded when grafting was done in July under a mist chamber (13.83).
