INGRAFTING Meaning and
Definition
-
Ingrafting refers to the act or process of grafting or inserting a living plant part, such as a bud, shoot, or twig, into another plant or tree, also known as the stock or rootstock. The purpose of ingrafting is to merge the tissues and allow them to grow together, ultimately forming a union between the graft and the stock. This technique is commonly used in horticulture and agriculture to propagate and cultivate desired plant varieties, improve the quality of fruits or flowers, and develop disease-resistant or resilient plants.
The process of ingrafting typically involves carefully slicing or cutting the bark or stem of both the graft and stock and fitting them together using various methods like whip grafting, side-veneer grafting, or budding. The success of ingrafting depends on factors such as the compatibility between the graft and stock, proper alignment, nutrition supply, and protection against infection or potential damage.
Ingrafting allows for the production of new plants with desired traits and characteristics that may not be achievable through seed germination. It has played a crucial role in the advancement of agriculture and horticulture by enabling the mass production and distribution of superior plant varieties. Through ingrafting, growers can combine the desirable properties of multiple plants, such as specific fruit flavors, disease resistance, or growth habits, resulting in stronger, more productive, and adaptable crops.
