Teacher’s Activity Student’s activity

 Good morning class.  Good morning too sir.

Before I start with our
discussion, let us have first a
sort of review with regards to
our previous lesson. We
discussed about layering and its
type. Now, what is layering?
 Layering is a propagation
method by which adventitious
roots are induced to form a stem
while it is still attached to the
parent plant.

 Thank you. How about the

types?
 Very good. So now let’s have an
activity before we proceed to our
new topic.
 Sir, the types of layering are:
simple layering; air layering;
compound layering; mound or
stool layering and trench
layering.

will form a word related to our
topic. You only have twenty
seconds to do it.

B. Lesson Proper

 Let’s check if your answers are

correct. Your answers from the
activity have something to do
with our topic this morning
which is grafting.
 Sir, grafting is connecting parts

 is a grafting?

 Yes. Another?

 Class, grafting is the art of

joining parts of plants together
in such a manner that will unite
and continue their growth as
one plant. By the way class,
grafting is one of the techniques
in asexual propagation.

 In grafting, you don’t only  Sir, does it mean that scion is

to be considered. The SCION
which is the short piece if
detached shoot with one to
several dormant buds.

 Yes. Very nice observation.

 Second is the ROOTSTOCK,

which is the lower portion of
graft which develops into the
root system of the grafted plant.

 Yes.

 Another one is the  What is the use of inter stock?

INTERSTOCK; it is a piece of
stem inserted between scion and
rootstock. It is used to avoid any
incompatibility between scion
and rootstock and/or to take
advantage of its growth
controlling properties.

 I hope you understand the

parts.

in front. Is my instruction clear?

 If yes proceed to your work now. Group no. 1

 Whip or tongue grafting, is most
commonly used to graft nursery
crops or woody ornamentals.
Both stock and scion has
similar cuts, and should be of
equal size and preferably no
more than ½ inch in diameter.

 Thank you group 1. Additional

information, this technique is
similar to splice grafting except
that the whip on the rootstock
holds the tongue of the scion in
place and vice versa.
Group no. 2
 Splice grafting, a method of
grafting by cutting the ends of
the scion and stock completely
across and obliquely, in such a
way that the sections are of the
same shape, then lapping the
ends so that the one that was
cut on the surface exactly fits
the other. And securing the m
by typing or otherwise.

 Let’s give them three claps. This

simple method class is usually
 applied to herbaceous materials
that callus or “knit easily”, or it
is used on plants with a stem
diameter of ½ inch or less.
Group no. 3
 Side grafting, it is the most
popular way to graft conifers,
especially those having a
compact or dwarf form. It is
usually done on potted
rootstock.

 Thank you group three. Side

grafting was a popular
technique for grafting varieties
of rhododendrons that are
difficult to root.
Group no. 4
 Cleft grafting, it is a method for
top working both flowering and
fruiting tress in order to change
varieties.

 Thank you group four. In cleft

grafting, the rootstock should
range from 1 to 4 inches in
diameter. The scion should be
about ¼ inch in diameter,
straight and long enough to
have at least 3 buds.
Group no. 5
 Bridge grafting, it used to bridge
a diseased or damaged area of a
plant, usually at or near the
base of the trunk.

 Very good group five. The bridge

graft provides support as well as
a pipeline that allows water and
nutrients to move across the
damaged area.
 Group no. 6
 Bark grafting, primarily to top
work flowering and fruiting
trees. It can be applied to
rootstock of a larger diameter (4
to 12 inches).

 Nice group six. Let’s give them

five claps.

Group no. 7
 Saddle grating, the stock may be
either field-grown or potted. It is
often used to propagate named
varieties of rhododendrons and
is usually performed in gentle
warmth in a greenhouse in late

give them six claps.
