Grafting techniques involve joining two plants together so they grow as one. This method is commonly used in horticulture to propagate desirable traits, such as disease resistance or improved fruit quality. The process typically includes selecting a scion, which is the upper part of the plant, and a rootstock, which provides the root system. There are several grafting methods, including whip and tongue, cleft grafting, and budding. Each technique has its own specific steps and is chosen based on the type of plants being grafted and the desired outcome. Successful grafting can enhance plant growth and yield.
