Grafting method of safflower grafting

The rootstock of safflower bud grafting requires peeling. First of all, a T-shaped incision should be made in the appropriate part of the rhizome, and the phloem should be cut off. To choose excellent rootstock, it is required that the root system is developed and the branches and leaves grow vigorously, and it is appropriate to choose 1-2-year-old branches that are robust and full and free from pests and diseases as scions. Rootstock and scion branches are similar in thickness, or the rootstock branches are slightly thicker.

Cutting the scion requires a set of skilled cutting methods, that is, cutting a knife horizontally above the bud, about 0.5cm above the bud, and then cutting a knife obliquely upward at 1.0cm below the bud, so that the two incisions are connected, and then buckling the bud piece with the right hand. Skilled technology, quick action, sharp knives, smooth cutting surface, aligned bending, firm bonding and wet interface are needed. In order to ensure success, try to pick as many branches as possible.

The joining operation inserts the shield-shaped bud into the T-shaped incision, aligns the upper end of the bud with the upper end of the T-shaped incision, and then wraps it with plastic strips. After grafting, scions and joints can be covered with plastic bags to keep moisture.

Spring and autumn are suitable for cutting and grafting safflower. Similarly, a complete branch is selected, and a flat edge is selected as a long cutting surface. After cutting, it is bound with strip film, and the upper part of scion is covered with film bag to isolate dry air, improve grafting survival rate and prolong grafting period.

The above is the grafting method of safflower following wood. Pay attention to bagging, moisturizing and shading after grafting, so as to improve the survival rate of grafting. I believe that through the above methods, you will successfully graft safflower following wood.
