Methods Of producing New Plant and Grafting

The process of producing new plant by using root stock and scion in scientific way is called grafting. This is very important method of producing the plants.In this method , root stock and scion are joined with each other to make new plant.
Stock is a part under the graft and scion helps to produce fruits in the plant.

Following points should be maintained while grafting.
a- The root stock and scion combined properly with  each other.
b- The internal part of the root stock and scion are joined properly with each other.
c- Grafting should be done in proper season to develop the plant cell.
d- parts of the plant which are cut for grafting should not be dried.

 Methods of Grafting:
a- Whip grafting:
In this process, root stock and scion are cut diagonally to combined easily with each other. After that they covered by plastic from outside by putting some fertile dung. It is necessary to combine the cut portion of root stock and scion properly with each other. both the combined parts are joined with each other after 3 months.

b- Splice Grafting:
This process also similar to the whip process. In this method, both the root stock and scion are cut normally and tie with each other to join them properly.

c-Cleft Grafting:
In this method, stem stock is trimmed from the plant. Make an opening on stem stock up to the depth of 5cm. Now scion of length is about 10cm is inserted inside the opening of the stem stock and then wax is used from outside. Finally, we will get a new plant after 2 to 3 months.
d-Side Grafting:
This method is mostly applicable for those small plants which are grown in the vase of clay pot. In this process, skin of the stock root is removed from the plant. It is called process of removing the bark from the root and then scion for attached with bark less part of the stock root. The appropriate size of scion for side grafting is from 10cm to 15 cm.
e- Bark Grafting:
This process also same as the process of removing outer layer or skin or bark of the stock. But in this process, outer skin is removed up to 5 cm depth.In this process, removal of outer skin is continued until woody portion is seen.

After that scion is inserted on the stock with the help of iron nail or glue to attach properly. In bark grafting, length of the scion is about 10cm and thickness is about 0.6 to 1.8cm is supposed to be appropriate.

F-Budding:
Budding is the process of the propagated in which a bud of the plant is to be propagation and is grafted onto the stem of another plant. This process is used  for cultivating the plants which are highly demanded in the market. This method is used for preparing citrus fruits an rose plant.
