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.
The most common method of propagating fruit trees, suitable for nearly all species, is grafting onto rootstocks. This in essence involves physically joining part of a shoot of a hybrid cultivar onto the roots of a different but closely related species or cultivar, so that the two parts grow together as one plant.

Plants are produced using material from a single parent and as such, there is no exchange of genetic material, therefore vegetative propagation methods almost always produce plants that are identical to the parent. In some plants, seeds can be produced without fertilization and the seeds contain only the genetic material of the parent plant.
A cultivar is a kind of cultivated plant that people have selected for desired traits and which retains those traits when propagated.Methods used to propagate cultivars include division, root and stem cuttings, offsets, grafting, tissue culture, or carefully controlled seed production.
Tube grafting has been adopted as the primary method for vegetable grafting on the farm as it can be easily carried out with small healing chambers with typical success rates ranging from 85 to 90 percent [14]. Approach grafting is done by cutting opposing and complementary notches in the stem of the rootstock and scion. The complementary ...
