Question

What Is Grafting?

Answer 1

Grafting or graftage is a horticultural technique whereby tissues from one plant are inserted into those of another so that the two sets of vascular tissues may join together.

1. Grafting is a technique that joins two plants into one. In general, a wound is created on one of the plants, and the other is inserted into that wound so each plant’s tissues can grow together.
2. The lower plant portion used in grafting is called the rootstock. This is usually a healthy root system and some portion of the stem.
3. The Stock or a Rootstock is wild, natural, vigorous, healthy, disease-free, & with a well-developed rooting system. e.g. Wild Mango.
