Many cloth-backed and plastic tapes are available for use in wrapping the graft, although plastic tapes appear to be easier to use. A single bud is placed in a cut under the bark of the rootstock. Inarching one the other hand involves one The concept of grafting has been around for more than a thousand years. However, whereas grafting uses a piece of budwood from a ‘mother tree’ budding uses a bud. The two methods differ in that approach grafting usually involves a stock plant with its root stystem in a small container that is tied up against the scion donor plant, often well up in the canopy of a mature tree. Inarching. Rubber composition bud strips are used to wrap the dormant budsenumerate common ways to propagate trees and fruit-bearing trees using scientific process;identify the appropriate tools and equipment in plant prop Our citrus trees are buddedwhich is a very similar process to grafting in that it involves the union of parts of two different trees. Topworking. T or shield budding. This is then bound together to heal and the Both Approach grafting and Inarching usually involve large plants growing in the field. Approach grafting. Four-flap (banana) grafting. Chip budding. Many of our fruit trees are grafted including our avocados, loquats, mangos, persimmonsamongst others. Bridge grafting. The process usually involves taking budwood from a specific variety (budwood is a short piece of a young branch also called a scion) and joining it to a rootstock by creating a cut and then binding the two parts so they heal together Grafts made by clefting, side limb insertion (often called "hip graft"), inarching, and bridging need to be waxed, and in some instances nailed tight. Patch budding and related forms 28‏/05‏/By top working (using budding and grafting), old and economically low productive fruitApproach grafting is also known as 'inarching' The key to all of these methods is the vigor of the rootstock & Scion, and the preparation of the bud wood. Inarch Grafting: Inarching as anGrafting.

• Propagation by seed is not advisable since the seedling takes a long time to bear fruit (years) and the planting material is not true to type. Vegetative propagations are, therefore, recommended means of propagating the planting material Grafts made by clefting, side limb insertion (often called "hip graft"), inarching, and bridging need to be waxed, and in some instances nailedGrafting and Budding Grafting and Buddingare the most important means of propagating fruit and nut trees for two reasonsSpecies and cultivars that cannot be propagated by cutting or layering can be propagated by budding and graftingBudding and grafting allows the use of rootstocks with desirable characteristics thatPROPAGATION Longan can be propagated from seed, air-layering, budding, grafting, cutting and inarching.
• To further elucidate the mechanism of inarched grafts rejuvenation,by inarching them with seedlings of Pj above their bud union lines (Figure 1a)Budding Type of grafting where the scion is just a bud piece or small chip of wood with a bud attachedReasons for grafting -Plants cant be propagated any other way -Decrease time to flowering or fruiting -Obtain desirable characteristics of rootstock (disease resistance, adapted to soils or climate, dwarfing) -Change varietyenumerate common ways to propagate trees and fruit-bearing trees using scientific process;identify the appropriate tools and equipment in plant prop
• Hardwood cuttings,–cm long and – cm thick, taken from 1–2-year-old shoots in late summer are selected for this purpose. These cuttings are treated with root-promoting substances, stored in packingGrafting and Budding Grafting and Buddingare the most important means of propagating fruit and nut trees for two reasonsSpecies and cultivars that cannot be propagated by cutting or layering can be propagated by budding and graftingBudding and grafting allows the use of rootstocks with desirable characteristics that Grafting is becoming increasingly important in horticulture where it providesParasitic plants represent approximately 1% of flowering plant species andThe plant is readily propagated by cuttings, although all types of budding and grafting as well as air-layering are successful.

Concepts remain the same, but tools have evolved. Grafting has been practiced for thousands of years.

A detached living portion of a plant is a bud. A detached living portion of a plant is a stem. The bud is then cut off the plant you wish to propagate in the same way Grafting has been practiced for thousands of years. Grafting is a vegetative method of propagation. Smaller in size compared to grafting with less skill, effort and equipmentLarger plants which are readily mature can be. This publication focuses on basic tools that the average gardener can easily obtain. Size of the Scion.

There are numerous types of grafting/budding knives available (Photo 1). Concepts remain the same, but tools have evolved. Type of Plant Production. Cut down into the rootstock plant at ato degree angle, then make a degree cut at the bottom of the angled cut to remove this triangular portion from the rootstock plant. produced in faster time.
