ABSTRACT
This study determined the part of the bougainvillea plat, genus Bougainvillea, that would serve as the scion of choice in producing the best cultivar in terms of leaf number and leaf length. Different cultivars were subjected to whip grafting. The rootstock were taken from one bougainvillea plant and the scion were taken from different parts of another bougainvillea plant and the plant. The quality of the cultivars was determined by the leaf number, and leaf length. In analyzing the data gathered from this study, the mean and standard deviation, as well as the one way ANOVA were employed as statistical tools.
The results of this study showed that there was no significant difference in the yield bougainvillea cultivars leaf number and leaf length indicating that the three scions have the same growth potentials.
