Grafting and budding are horticultural techniques used to join parts from two or more plants so that they appear to grow as a single plant. In grafting, the upper part (scion) of one plant grows on the root system (rootstock) of another plant. In the budding process, a bud is taken from one plant and grown on another.Plant grafting is a technique in which tissue from one plant, the scion, is attached onto another, the rootstock. The rootstock produces new vascular tissue with which to feed the scion, and the graft heals. ... Grafting is used to create stronger and more desirable plantsCommon Types of Plant Grafts

Whip and Tongue Graft. The whip and tongue graft is performed on deciduous trees, but works on any woody plant. ...

Cleft Graft. Cleft grafting attaches a less hardy scion variety to a hardy rootstock, changing the variety of the plant. ...

Side Veneer Graft. ...

Bark Graft.Examples: roses and fruit trees like peaches. Budwood is a stick with several buds on it that can be cut out and used for bud grafting. It is a common method of propagation for citrus trees.

Grafting is horticultural technique that splices the top of one vine onto the roots of another. The purpose of grafting is to combine the desirable characteristics of the top part (the scion) to the sturdier roots of another (the rootstock).

Grafting is used in all forms of agriculture and commercial horticulture. The scion is chosen based on the quality of its stems, roots, flowers and/or fruit; this winemaker wants this part of the plant to dominate the end result. The rootstock (or stock) is selected because its roots are better equipped to deal with the soil or climate and/or is resistant to pests or disease; the winemaker uses this as a foundation for the desired vine - it doesn’t affect the finished product. Most vineyards in the world use grafted vines.

Grafting as a means of growth control is used extensively with fruit trees and ornamentals such as roses and junipers. Fruit trees are normally composed of a scion grafted onto a rootstock. Sometimes an interstock is included between the scion and stock. The rootstock may be grown from seed (seedling rootstock) or asexually propagated (clonal rootstock). In the apple, a great many clonal rootstocks are available to give a complete range of dwarfing; rootstocks are also available to invigorate growth of the scion cultivar.

hope its help u.........
