An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different shade intensity for softwood grafting in guava cv. Sardar at the Department of Fruit Science, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot during the period of February 2013 to May 2013. There was significant difference for graft success and growth of grafts among different shade intensities. Significantly high graft success and survival percentage was noticed in 35 per cent shade house (68.80 and 87.19 %, respectively) followed by 50 per cent shade house (58.00 and 79.13 % respectively). While minimum graft success and survival percentage was recorded in open condition (36.00 and 71.19 %, respectively). Growth parameters like maximum number of sprouts (4.12), percent sprouting (54.86 %), highest length of sprout (8.71 cm) and maximum number of leaves (17.62) were registered in grafts placed under 35 per cent shade house.
