HI FRIEND I HOPE I WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP YOU...
Explanation:
We can use our knowledge of heredity to help in improving our crop plants to acquire maximum production.
We can use the process known as GRAFTING .
Grafting is a technique that joins two plants into one. In general, a wound is created on one of the plants, and the other is inserted into that wound so each plant's tissues can grow together. Most fruit trees today are grafted onto rootstock.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GRAFTING....?
(1) to impart disease resistance or hardiness, contributed by the rootstock.
(2) to shorten the time taken to first production of flowers or fruits by the scion, in some cases by many years.
(3) to dwarf the scion, making both its height and shape more convenient for harvesting fruit, as with apples.
(4) to allow scion cultivars to retain their desirable leaf, floral, or fruit characters, without the risk of these being lost through sexual reproduction.
(5) to provide the most economic use of scion material, in cases where there is some difficulty with stem cuttings producing .
