The present work aimed to appraise two types of protection of the graft in the production of avocado nut nursery tree cv. Herculano. The experiment was led in a completely randomized design with two treatments (T1: polyethylene bag; T2: parafilm) and six replicates. The evaluations were made after five months of the grafting where were observed the following characteristics: successfulness of the graft, length and diameter of the sprouting. The parafilm used as protection of the graft increased the success of the grafting.
