How to transplant papaya trees is not much different by grafting other trees. In principle, the technique in performing the transplant process is the same for all plants, which should be remembered in the grafting process that the plants to be transplanted are plants that have cambium, if the plants you grafted do not have cambium then it will not be grafted.
Understanding and Purpose Grafting
Grafting is a plant propagation technique vegetatively which the goal is the nature of the resulting plant will be the same as the parent plant and accelerate the results of plant fertilization. This grafting technique is commonly used for fruit plants in pots because the plants will not be too high and have bushy fruit.
Grafting is one way of artificial vegetative propagation that aims to reproduce plants that have the same properties with the mother and quickly produce the fruit. In addition, tang trees produced do not have stems that are too high.
Technique Gres in Grafting Papaya
On this occasion the technique that we do in grafting the papaya is different from the way of grafting fruit in general, this fruit grafting technique is very easy to do by you and will produce some plants depending on the shoots that grow later buds.
How to Transplant Papaya
Here's how you can do in the process of grafting papaya, hopefully later to produce fruit bushy and quickly produce fruit.
- Look for papaya trees that have dense fruits and have a sweet and healthy taste and are not tuaterang by disease. It aims to hope that the plant from the graft will have the same properties as the parent that is bushy, sweet and healthy also Find the elegant tree and then the stem in the crop, the goal to grow new shoots.
- The healthy papaya tree was pruned. It aims to produce gres buds that we can graft later.
- Fertilizer plants that we have been pruning hopefully can accelerate the growth of new shoots.
- After the shoots grow rather large, the iris sprouts upwards like in the picture below. Do not slice the wedge (Perikaraan do slices about half). Sliced shoots are propped up by using wooden branches with the intention that the slices will not be reunited again.
After the buds are rather large, the bud iris extends upwards. But do not break up, about half. Then sliced shoots with wooden branches in order that the slices do not converge again. - Close the slice with the soil and wrap the soil using plastic or coconut husk. allow 3-4 months and do watering 3 x a week. Cover the slice with the ground and then wrap it
- After 3-4 months or the root of the transplant has grown, cut the scene under the grafts with a saw to avoid the hyperbolic swaying of the graft that can create failure. Plants are ready to move the planting medium
When it grows the roots then cut and ready to be moved to the planting medium. That's how to grasp the tree / papaya plants with the correct technique. May be useful :).
