How can loquat survive more easily by grafting? 1, grafting time
Grafting loquat can be done in spring or autumn. The warm climate in spring is conducive to the germination of loquat trees, and the grafting survival rate is high. Pay attention to the choice of sunny grafting, rainy days are easy to cause water rot at the grafting place.
2, scion treatment
It is best to choose high-quality mother trees for grafting loquat trees for more than three years, mainly with well-grown lignified branches. Before grafting, rinse the impurities on the surface of branches with clear water, then brush off the fluff with a brush, and then graft in a dry and ventilated environment for 1-2 days.
3, rootstock treatment
Thinning the rootstock 1-2 days before grafting, leaving only about 15-20 cm and 3-5 compound leaves, which can reduce the water loss of rootstock and improve the nutrient concentration and grafting survival rate of rootstock.
4. Transplantation method
When grafting, you should cut a hole in the loquat scion, then cut it into a length of about 2 cm, leaving 1-2 buds for each scion, cutting the buds at the position of 1 cm, then completely overlapping the rootstock with the scion, fixing it with iron wire and covering it with plastic film.
