Grafting technique of Peach Tree

Peach is a traditional fruit tree in China, but now there are many varieties of peach, and the most popular ones on the market are honey peach and yellow peach. The main methods of peach tree planting are seed propagation and grafting propagation, and the growth cycle of seed propagation is too long, so grafting technology has become more popular in our lives. So what the editor wants to teach you today is that the grafting method of peach trees, let's take a look at it.

1. Grafting time

Peach trees can actually be grafted all the year round, but generally speaking, the survival rate of grafting is higher in spring and summer. The best time for spring grafting is from mid-February to late April, when the survival rate can reach more than 95%. The summer grafting is from mid-May to early August, when its healing ability is also very good, if the grafting is not successful, the second grafting can be carried out. Autumn usually takes place from the end of July to the end of September, but winter usually lasts from November to late January of the following year. We should choose the best grafting time, so as to improve the success rate of peach grafting.

2. Preparation for grafting

Before grafting peach trees, we should prepare what we need for grafting. First of all, the choice of rootstocks, not all seedlings can be used for grafting peach trees, and not all rootstocks that can be grafted peach trees have that high survival rate. So we need to choose the best rootstock, generally the best is different varieties of peach seedlings is the best. The second is the selection of scions, preferably annual, robust, pest-free, resistant, excellent varieties of peach branches. When ready, continue to treat the section of the rootstock and scion and keep it hydrated. Finally, prepare the tools needed for grafting, generally the most commonly used is the plastic film.

3. Grafting method

The method of peach tree grafting is not single, because different sizes of rootstocks and scions, we need to be different grafting methods, otherwise the survival rate will be greatly affected. Among them, the most commonly used grafting methods are bud grafting and branch grafting, while bud grafting includes T-shaped bud grafting and embedding grafting, and grafting includes split grafting and web grafting. In the process of grafting, we should control the depth of grafting and make the rootstock coincide with the scion, so as to strengthen the healing ability of grafting and improve the survival rate of grafting. After grafting the rootstock and scion, it is necessary to bind the rootstock and scion with plastic film, which can prevent the rootstock and scion from being affected by air and water, which reduces the healing ability and leads to grafting failure.

4. Management after grafting

After grafting, if the grafting survives, it will generally grow new buds in about 15 days, then in this process of its growth, it is a relatively long process of stare. This does not mean that there is no need for management during this period of time, we need to carefully observe the growth of seedlings and erase the shoots that have not been completely removed. Wait until about 90 days later, when the basic flower girl shows that the grafting is successful, the bundled plastic film needs to be uncovered, and after a period of growth, proper pest control and topdressing can enter a new growth stage.

The above is the brief introduction of the grafting method of peach trees that the editor is going to introduce to you today. In fact, the editor does not describe the grafting process of peach trees in detail here, but if you need it, please leave a message for the editor. The editor will continue to update later.
