In this week's video, we explained in detail how to take the graft necessary for seedling production by grafting, when to take the graft, what to consider when taking the graft and how to store and preserve the graft. Graft, Time to take the graft: In fruit trees, the graft should be taken when the plant is dormant. The graft should be taken after January ends. The reason is that the plant has completely gone dormant due to the cold and the plant's ability to protect itself against cold and frost has developed. The time to take the graft varies depending on the region. In regions with a temperate climate, the graft can be taken from the end of January to mid-February, and in interior and highland areas where cold and frost events are experienced, from February 20 to the end of the first week of March. If there is a frost event during the period when you will take the graft, the grafts are affected by frost, the graft should be taken after waiting 10-15 days or at least 7 days for the graft to recover from the frost damage. How to take grafts, cuttings in vines and fruit trees: The most important rule when taking grafts for both vines and fruit trees is to take grafts from healthy gardens and trees. How to take grafts in vines: Scions are taken from 1-year-old vine vines. * Scions with good eye development should be preferred. * The thickness of the cuttings taken should be between half a centimeter and 1.2 cm. * Preference should be given to hardened, hardened sticks. * Scions with suitable internodes should be preferred. * The graft should be taken from the middle parts of the female vine. How to take grafts in fruit trees: Scions should be preferred from 1-year-old shoots. * Scions should be preferred from shoots growing on fruit-bearing branches. * Gluttonous branches coming from the middle parts of the tree should not be preferred as grafts if possible. * Unless necessary, grafts should not be preferred from 2-year-old shoots. They can be taken when necessary. * When taking grafts, branches with good eye development should be preferred. * The thickness of the shoots from which the grafts are taken should be as thick as a little finger in small fruit trees, and grafts as thick as a ring finger should be preferred for grafts to be used in large fruit trees. * When preparing grafts, flexible, broken and unripe tips should be cleaned. * Grafts with suitable internodes should be preferred. How to take grafts in walnut trees: Grafts in walnuts should also be preferred from 1-year-old shoots. Unless necessary, 2-year-old shoots should not be preferred. If necessary, 2-year-old shoots can be preferred. * Shoots that extend from the necked bud in walnuts are not preferred for grafts. * Shoots that extend from the button bud in walnuts are preferred. * The thickness of the grafts to be taken from walnuts should be at least as thick as a ring finger. * Before the graft is taken from the walnut, the surface and bark of the tree should be cut and checked to see if they have been affected by frost. If there is blackening on the cut surface, the graft is not taken. The graft is taken according to the weather conditions after waiting 10-15 days. What to do to obtain healthy grafts: Even if we know and think that the tree and garden are healthy when buying the graft, there may be pests, various fungal diseases, bacterial and viral diseases that we cannot see with our eyes, so it is important to keep the cuttings taken and prepared for storage in fungicide from the evening until the morning and store them in the morning. How to store the graft: The amount of grafts that will be grafted in one day should be prepared in a tie. * The grafts should be wrapped in a nylon bag, garbage bag or stretch film in an airtight manner, packaged and stored in the vegetable section of the refrigerator at +4 degrees or by burying them in dug soil at a depth of 30-40 cm. *A note should be written on the label of the prepared grafts indicating which fruit the graft belongs to. Preparing the graft for storage: While preparing the grafts for storage, the unripened ends should be cleaned. Afterwards, in small thin branches and fruit trees, 1 eyelet or 2-3 cm of cutting area should be left from the head, then 5-6 cm of area to be opened for the scion, the area to enter the socket for the rootstock, then 3 eyes are left, again 5-6 cm of area to be opened is left, again 3 eyes, then again 5-6 cm of area to enter the socket, then 3 eyes continue in this way depending on how many grafts you will prepare. As in the first, 1 eyelet or 2-3 cm of area to be cut is left at the end. The area to enter the socket in walnut should be set as 8-10 cm. #aşıkalemi #aşıkaleminasılvenezamanalınır #aşıkaleminasılmuhafazaedilir #foryoupage #foryou #fyp #fypシ #explore #ankara #türkiye #türkey #güdül #beautiful #best
