Most of the farmers, on whose sites grow fruit trees, well aware that the timely inoculation of horticultural crops improves productivity.

To the process of grafting was more effective, a few simple rules must be observed.
preparation of cuttings
Before you inoculate a rootstock cuttings, they are encouraged to soak well. The water should be as cold as possible, because after soaking in warm fluids may rapidly dissolve dormant buds, and this will slow down the process of rooting cuttings or can call them death. Can be added to the solution to soak the ice and wait until it melts. Meltwater is a potent stimulator of life, which means that the vaccine would be better to take root.
Therefore it is necessary to take the ice-cold water and leave it shoots at least 12 hours. If the cuttings have time to dry out, they can be soaked longer. The signs are properly trained scion elasticity in bending, moisture-laden crust and appearance of water droplets on a fresh cut.
Experts recommend to add liquid to soak a little sugar. It feeds cuttings, promotes temperature reduction in escape and forms a protective film on the cut, prevents the decay of wood and bark. Some growers are used instead of sugar or honey IAA solution.
Secrets of proper vaccinations
To the future of the scion turned clean cut, experts recommend to make a move on my own - it is more convenient and safer for the hands. It is desirable to use a sharp knife to as little as possible injure the timber.
If proved to be not enough even cut, it can be corrected using a sharp tool. By grafting it should as close as possible to the wood stock.
It is important to choose the right escape for cutting the stalk. It must have at least 2 buds. If only one kidney, it can damage the birds or rodents, and the presence of 2 points of growth ensures the success of vaccination. In addition, the longer escape retains moisture better, which increases the viability of the graft.
After cutting to be installed on the site of implantation, it is necessary to press and seal tightly. It is best to use for this purpose a thick plastic film, which must be cut into rather narrow ribbons. You can apply a narrow tape or duct tape, but care must be taken not to overtighten the site of inoculation, as there is a risk to damage the bark, which has a negative impact on the stock condition.
To speed up the process of survival, it is desirable during the vaccination smear cut cutting garden pitch. This reduces evaporation and improves escape viability. Options can be purchased at a specialty store, and before applying a little heat, so it is better molested wood.
In some cases it is necessary to impart to the fruit trees cuttings already awakened the kidney. However, such situations should be avoided, since the survival rate in most cases is reduced by almost half. Such graft must be protected from light with thick paper or corrugated cardboard, and on top put on a dark plastic bag filled with wet cotton wool, which must be periodically moistened. Clean this construction can be when the stalk fully take hold.
It is important to choose the time for grafting fruit trees. It is better to do it at the end of March. If the buds on the shoots of sleep, small freeze did not prevent them. Shoots with buds awakened must be protected from the cold.
