Why Do Most People Still Prefer To Buy Ungrafted Fruit- Tree Seedling? by Nobody: 4:30pm On Jun 07, 2018 |
The trend in progressive agric nations in fruit-tree planting is to plant only grafted seedlings, a practice that started since 1600 years ago. I am deeply worried that most people don't see the need to plant grafted seedlings either out of ignorance p,superstition, or laziness. Could it be lack of resources or unavailability of choiced seedlings? I have encountered CROP SCIENCE lecturers who know every term about grafting but cant graft nor teach their students the practice of grafting plants. I once looked stupid before some undergrads when I suggested learning grafting for self-employment. Why is our agric practice this backward. What is wrong with "US"? 2 Likes |

Bro like the nairalander above me said, you have to differentiate the two means of planting and tell us what advantages planting grafted seedlings has over planting seeds. 27 Likes |

sexy74: Ok, I skipped the intros because it has been treated in numerous posts by me and others here hn Agric section.0k let me explain: plant grafting is the practice of joining two or more plant parts to form one plant that bears a desired fruit. It involves a rootstock(the one with the root part) and a scion ( the part that will be on top) . In clear terms it is the plant version of plastic surgery to improve value,look and make the canopy (tree height and spread) dwarf. By this practice an unplearant tree's taste,look,height and shelf life could be 'bettered'. Most importantly, a three that seven years+ to fruit could fruit in three years.we have two types of grafting as it relates to location: in-situ (grafting an already planted seedling )and ex-situ(grafting the seedlings in the polybags) . 10 Likes |

A wide range of plants can be grafted except herbacious plants like plantain and pinapple which could be tissue cultured. 1 Like |

Grafted seedlings is the way to go-shorter time, higher yield For example, why should one wait for about 5 years to get his first harvest of avocado when it is possible within 2years. 6 Likes 1 Share |

My grandmother grafted so many trees in her garden. There was one we used to call Tangelo which was orange and tangerine I believe. There was another very juicy apple tree she had which was neither the Nigerian nor European apple. Unfortunately, we lost a lot of this knowledge, what we have now is people who read books and can't put into practice. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

monalicious: Fruits you see imported into Nigeria are from grafted plants, Kenya exports thousands of container load of Avocado to Europe and other regions, it is from grafted plants and if Europe with its stringent standards have it passed then we are good to go. Grafting is not new, it has always been with us over the centuries. 5 Likes |

Pavore9: Someone brought me a pineapple sometime ago and bcus the pineapple was vry sweet I decided to plant the "head" in a very small space behind the house, this is getting close to two years now but d the stuff hasn't brought forth any fruit. Itz really getting me pissed already, sometimes I feel like jxt pulling it off. What could be responsible for this? Is there any hope of it still bringing out fruit anytime soon? The thing is just growing taller and looking very fresh all along and nothing in it .... 3 Likes |

Wow.... Thanks OP for reminding me about what I had read in Primary and Secondary schools decades ago. I have never seen a grafted plant though, but I have eaten "Tangelo" before. Would Google more on the subject. Give more examples of plant-combinations that can be grafted if you can... 4 Likes |

Pavore9.....the topic on this thread is different from what it said on the front page. The two convey different messages. On the front page, it was talking about the fruits. What the poster was trying to talk about was the grafting process itself, and why most people haven't gone that route yet, not just the fruits from it. 2 Likes |

All the professor and doctors of agriculture in our various institutions should be sacked. Agriculture isn't about class room and lecturing It's about science and practicality The govt should haul their lazy asses of govt wage bill and bring in fresh young men who are ready to go to the farm 3 Likes |
