To study the effects of exogenous hormone treatment on the graft survival rate and growth of Gleditsia sinensis,3-year-old Gleditsia sinensis seedlings with the same origin were used as the stock and the current-growth branches of the ex-cellent variety were used as the scion.The results showed that 6-BA concentration of 40 mg/L~60 mg/L,KT concentra-tion of 40 mg/L~60 mg/L and IBA-K concentration of 30 mg/L~120 mg/L had a better promoting effect on the survival and growth of Gleditsia sinensis grafted seedlings,while the effect of GA3 treatment was slightly worse than the other 3 hor-mones.The combination treatment of 50 mg/L 6-BA,40 mg/L KT and 120 mg/L IBA-K had the highest grafting sur-vival rate of Gleditsia sinensis which reaching 95.56%.That had the most significant promotion effect on the growth of graf-ted seedlings,which the average seedling height increased by 30.48%and the average base diameter increased by 29.91%compared to the control.The soaking time of Gleditsia sinensis scions whether too short or too long could affect the grafting effect.The suitable soaking time was 5 min~20 min.
