A grafted cutting is the foundation of efficient horticulture and viticulture. The use of grafting allows for the targeted modification of the varietal composition of plantations, improves plant winter hardiness, and accelerates the time to harvest. In professional nursery production, this technology makes it possible to optimize workflows and guarantee the creation of high-quality planting material with specific characteristics, including the formation of nursery plants with a pre-formed high trunk.
This collection gathers materials covering the full cycle of working with grafted plants — from the harvesting and viability assessment of source material to the storage methods and lifting of ready-to-use nursery plants. Readers will find step-by-step instructions for preparing cuttings, modern approaches to conservation, and specific techniques for top-working fruit trees using scaffold builders. These articles will help both professionals in agro-industrial enterprises and enthusiastic gardeners master the technical nuances necessary for growing a healthy and productive orchard.
