Grafting Method - Side Grafting

Side Grafting


In side grafting vigorous stock shoots are selected. Fresh and mature scion sticks about 12-13 cm long are collected from a desired variety and their leaves are clipped off. A 2-3 year old stock tree planted in orchard rows is selected.
 a grafting technique in which the scion is inserted into the side of the stock and the aerial head of the stock permitted to grow until union is established between stock and scion.

At the base of the scion on one side a longitudinal cut of 5-8 cm is made, cutting away half of the girth at the base and thus making a wedge. An oblique cut is made in the stock at an angle of 20-30 degree and about 2.5 cm deep, and the scion is inserted in the cut portion and gently pushed down until it is fixed in the bark. The union is tied with waxed cotton tape and wrapped with polythene. After the graft sprouts, the polythene is removed.

This method can be performed in both spring and autumn, but the maximum rate of 90% is achieved during spring.
