  2. Layering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layering

    At the end of the growing season, the side branches will have rooted, and can be separated while the plant is dormant. Some of these will be used for grafting rootstocks, and some can be reused in the nursery for the next growing season's crop. Ground layering is used in the formation of visible surface roots, known as "nebari", on bonsai trees.

  3. Agricultural cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_cycle

    The prior step associated with seeding is crop selection, which mainly consists of two techniques: sexual and asexual. Asexual technique includes all forms of the vegetative process such as budding, grafting and layering. Sexual technique involves growing of the plant from a seed.

  4. Grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting

    Bud grafting (also called chip budding or shield budding) uses a bud instead of a twig. [8] Grafting roses is the most common example of bud grafting. In this method a bud is removed from the parent plant, and the base of the bud is inserted beneath the bark of the stem of the stock plant from which the rest of the shoot has been cut.

  5. Bridge graft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_graft

    A bridge graft is a grafting technique used to re-establish the supply of nutrients to the rootstock of a woody perennial when the full thickness of the bark has been removed from part of the trunk. Damage to the innermost layer of the bark, called the phloem , can interrupt the transport of photosynthesized sugars throughout the tree.

  6. Fruit tree propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_tree_propagation

    Grafting, 1870, by Winslow Homer — an example of grafting. Fruit tree propagation is usually carried out vegetatively (non-sexually) by grafting or budding a desired variety onto a suitable rootstock. Perennial plants can be propagated either by sexual or vegetative means.

  7. Plant propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_propagation

    Gentian seedlings in a plant nursery. Plant propagation is the process by which new plants grow from various sources, including seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts.Plant propagation can refer to both man-made and natural processes.

  8. Nurse grafting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_grafting

    Nurse grafting is a method of plant propagation that is used for hard-to-root plant material. If a desirable selection cannot be grown from seed (because a seed-grown plant will be genetically different from the parent), it must be propagated asexually ( cloned ) in order to be genetically identical to the parent.

  9. Honey extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_extraction

    The bees normally show no sign of disturbance, and any bees in the flow frame at the time are not harmed. Clean honey can be produced and filtration is not normally required. [ 2 ] The system is then reset and the bees clean up any remaining honey, remove the capping, and refill the cells, beginning the process again.
