How to graft on Lotkan trees
Transplantation is a horticultural technique used to reproduce trees by combining the desired upper part of a tree (called a graft) with a tree base (called a rootstock). This method is commonly used to improve the variety, strength or resistance of fruit trees. In this article, we will explain how to graft on the trees of Lotkan, also known as the Bengali tree.
Materials required:
- Lotkan plugin
- Root rack compatible with Lotkan trees
- Sharp knife
- Plugging wire or tape
- Mastic to be grafted
- Dryer
Steps to Registry:
1. Choice of rootstock: Select a rootstock that is compatible with Lotkan trees in terms of species and size. Make sure the rootstock is healthy and vigorous.
2. Preparing the plugin: Choose a healthy, young Lotkan plugin with at least two buttons. Cut the graft into bevels with a sharp knife to create a clean cutting surface.
3. Preparation of the rootstock: Make a T-shaped incision on the rootstock. Gently insert the graft into the incision, ensuring that the cambiums of the graft and the rootstock are aligned.
4. Plugin fastening: Closely wrap the graft point with graft thread or graft tape to keep the graft in place. Make sure the connection is waterproof and secure.
5. Application of mastic to be grafted: Once the graft has been fixed, apply putty to the transplant point to protect against infections and promote healing. Make sure you fully cover the graft area.
6. Monitoring and maintenance: Monitor the transplant point regularly to ensure that it heals properly. Keep the soil around the damp tree but not too wet. Cut the unwanted branches to promote graft growth.
Conclusion:
Transplantation on Lotkan trees is an effective method of propagating and improving this tree species. By following the above steps carefully and providing the appropriate care, you can successfully graft onto Lotkan trees. Enjoy the fruits of your hard work and your expertise in gardening!
