Vaccination and budding

These methods are often used in the cultivation of ornamental plants. Propagation by budding or vaccination is rapid, makes it possible to obtain more flowering plants, receiving the appropriate forms (e.g. standard roses) and replacing the root system of one plant with the root system of another (e.g. resistant to freezing or resistant to diseases and pests).

Grafting involves getting two plants to grow together: plants, on which it is grafted - the so-called. pads, with part of the plant, you want to vaccinate, i.e. from the so-called. all of a sudden.

Zrazy is prepared from shoots cut from the mother plant, rootstocks are prepared from seeds or cuttings.

In floriculture, grafting is used, among others. in. when growing roses, cactus, azalii, peony, dahlias and clematis. The most common methods of vaccination are the following:

1) grafting into a crack (e.g. grafting some cacti);

2) grafting in a wedge - i.e.. deer leg (e.g. peony);

3) vaccination by application,

4) vaccination for the snap is used then, when the rootstock is much thicker than the scion; this method consists in obliquely cutting the scion and cutting the side of the rootstock of the appropriate width and thickness of the bark strip together with a thin layer of wood;

5) budding, that is, the eyelet differs from the listed methods of vaccination in that, that we are not using a piece of momentum, but with a bud cut from a scion with a piece of bark, the so-called. shield. The eyelet is placed behind the bark tilted on the washer, which is notched in the shape of the letter T.

Vaccinations are performed in early spring or in the second half of summer. Zrazy is best prepared from woody shoots on the south or south-east side. They are cut off in the late autumn period. Until vaccination, so until spring, slips should be stored in moist sand at a temperature of 3-5 °.

In ornamental horticulture, inoculation is used more often than inoculation. It is the easiest way to refine plants, because it requires little material and can be made quickly. Two weeks after making the meshes, check, whether they are catching. You can recognize it by the color of the bark near the eye; when it is green, sign, that the eyelet is accepted, when brown, the mesh is not accepted.

More detailed information on the vaccination and budding of plants can be found in the horticulture handbook.
