An investigation was undertaken to assess the effect of season and age of the rootstock on success of grafting in cashew varieties V-4 and V-6. Three years data revealed that 'May' is the most favourable month for grafting V-4 as well as V-6 varieties of cashew. The most appropriate age of rootstock for cashew grafting was 45 days. Grafting during 'April' was a second promising option provided 45 to 60 days old rootstocks are available. A reasonable success could also be obtained by grafting in 'March', 'June' and 'August'. 'November' to 'January' was the most unfavourable months for cashew grafting.
