This study was carried out to evaluate the two grafting methods to the culture of the passion fruit tree under Cuiaba depression conditions. The essay was done at Experimental Farm nursery of the Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine Faculty--FAMEV of the Mato Grosso Federal University, located in Santo Antonio do Leverger town, in Brazil. It was used grafting methods type of full cleft grafting and lateral grafting, in three points in the rootstock: the top of the plant, above of three leafs and above of five leafs. The seedlings used like rootstocks were resultant of seeds came from Agronomic Institute of Campinas--IAC (Sao Paulo, Brazil) of the cultivar IAC 275 of the access Roxinho miudo. The saddle grafting was taken from seedlings with three months old year, 0.5cm of the diameter, of the cultivated IAC 275. It was used 15 plants in each grafting method, 30 plants in total. The full cleft grafting method has shown better results in the plant growing. And to the rootstock the better results were found above 5 leafs than above 3 leafs or on the top of the plant. The full cleft grafting and saddle grafting in the rootstock got 98% of success, concluding that it was the most adequate technique.
