1. Grafting is usually used for the propagation of fruit trees, trees and flowers, as well as the seedling raising of melons and vegetables. Grafting is divided into two categories: branching and budding. The former is suitable for spring and autumn, especially in spring, with high survival rate. Grafting can not only keep the excellent characteristics of scion varieties, but also make use of the beneficial characteristics of rootstock to achieve early fruit and enhance the ability of cold resistance, drought resistance and pest resistance. Breeding materials can also be used economically to increase the number of seedlings.
