Grafting is an essential technological technique in agronomy that allows for the combination of the best properties of a scion and a rootstock to improve the qualitative characteristics of plants. For professional agronomists and gardeners, this method is a key tool in managing winter hardiness, protecting crops from dangerous soil-borne pathogens, and accelerating the onset of the fruiting phase. Mastering the grafting technique ensures high productivity of plantations and allows for effectively addressing issues of vineyard restoration and the propagation of rare plant cultivars.
This collection gathers materials covering a wide spectrum of methodologies: from the physiological foundations of tissue union and the biological compatibility of components to practical techniques for working with fruit trees, grapes, vegetable crops, and even queen bees. The reader will find detailed guides on the selection and preparation of scions, top-working technologies on framework trees, as well as methods for protecting crops from root rot and viral infections. The articles combine theoretical knowledge of vegetative propagation with practical recommendations for creating and improving planting material in nurseries and under cover.
