Grafting can also be done in stages; a closely related scion is grafted to the rootstock, and a less closely related scion is grafted to the first scion. Serial grafting of several scions may also be used to produce a tree that bears several different fruit cultivars, with the same rootstock taking up and distributing water and minerals to the ...
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. Any extra bud that starts growing from the stem of the stock plant is removed.
Topophysis occurs when scions (young shoots and twigs), buddings, or root cuttings continue to grow in the same way after grafting as they had while growing on the ortet. [1] [2] When the scion or propagule grows in the same branchlike way, it is called plagiotropic growth. [2]
Shield budding, also known as T-budding, is a technique of grafting to change varieties of fruit trees. Typically used in fruit tree propagation, it can also be used for many other kinds of nursery stock. [1] An extremely sharp knife is necessary; specialty budding knives are on the market.
Grafting involves attaching a scion, or a desired cutting, to the stem of another plant called stock that remains rooted in the ground. Eventually both tissue systems become grafted or integrated and a plant with the characteristics of the grafted plant develops, [ 29 ] e.g. mango, guava, etc.
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 in order to be genetically identical to the parent.

An import ban imposed in 1989 by the United States on Indian mangoes, including the Alphonso, was lifted in April 2007. [12] However, the mangoes needed to be treated before entering the country in order to stop the introduction of non-native fruit flies, destructive fungi, and other pests that could harm American agriculture.
