ON
“TYPES OF BUDDING”
By Lalhriatpuia

2. BUDDING
 BUDDING IS A GRAFTING TECHNIQUE IN WHICH A
SINGLE BUD FROM THE DESIRED SCION IS USED
RATHER THAN AN ENTIRE SCION CONTAINING MANY
BUDS.
 BUDDING REQUIRE THE SAME PRECAUTIONS AS
GRAFTING.

3. PREPARATION OF ROOT STOCK
 THE ROOTSTOCK SHOULD BE 3/16 – 7/16 INCH
CALIPER.
 LEAVES AND SIDE BRANCHES MUST BE REMOVED.
 REMOVE ANY SOIL FROM THE ROOTSTOCK.
 THE ROOTSTOCK SHOULD BE CLEAN.
 DORMANT ROOTSTOCK CAN BE USED.

4. PREPARATION OF THE BUD
WOOD
 COLLECT THE BUDWOOD OR SCION IN THE DAYS
WHILE THE TEMPARATURE IS COOL.
 MATURE BUDS ARE MOST DESIREABLE.
 DISCARD TERMINAL AND YOUNGER BUDS.
 REMOVE THE LEAVES BUT KEEP THE PETOILES.
 BUDSTICK SHOULD BE PREPARED IN A COOL SHADED
AREA.

5. T OR SHIELD BUDDING
 T- BUDDING IS A SPECIAL GRAFTING
TECHNIQUE IN WHICH THE SCION
PIECE IS REDUCED TO SINGL.E BUD.
 THE VASCULAR CAMBIUM SHOULD BE
ACTIVELY GROWING.
 THE CUT SHOULD BEGIN ABOUT ½ TO
¾ INCH BELOW THE BUD.
 BUDDING KNIVES SOULD BE KEPT
VERY SHARP.
 IF THE BARK DOES NOT SLIP EASILY,
THIS INDICATES THAT THE BARK IS
NOT IN ACTIVE GROWTH.

6. CHIP BUDDING
 CHIP BUDDING SEASON IS LONGER
THAN T-BUDDING SEASON.
 THE FIRST CUT ON BOTH STOCK AND
SCION IS MADE AT A 45 – 60 DEGREE
DOWNWARD ANGLE TO A DEPTH OF 1/8
INCH.
 CUT ON BOTH THE SCION AND THE
ROOTSTOCK SHOULD BE EXACTLY THE
SAME.
 WRAPPING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
IN CHIP BUDDING.

7. INVERTED T-BUDDING
IT IS SIMILAR TO T-BUDDING IN THAT
BOTH METHODS OF BUDDING FOLLOWS
THE SAME INCISIONS ON THE
ROOTSTOCK AND BUTSTICK EXCEPT
THAT IN INVERTED T THE HORIZON
CUT IS MADE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
VERTICAL CUT. THIS IS DON‟T TO
PREVENT THE POSSIBLE ENTRY OF
WATER FROM THE TOP OF THE T CUT
WHICH MAY CAUSE ROTTING OF THE
SHIELD PIECE.

8. I - BUDDING
IT IS A METHOD OF BUDDING IN
WHICH INCISIONS IN THE SHAPE OF
AN „I‟ IS MADE IN THE BARK OF THE
ROOTSTOCK ENDS. A RECTANGULAR
BUD IS THEN INSERTED.

9. FLUTE BUDDING
THE BARK IS REMOVED FROM THE STEM
OF THE ROOT STOCK ALMOST
COMPLETELY ENCIRCLES IT EXCEPT THAT
THERE REMAIN A NARROW STRIP OF BARK
(~1/8 THE ROOTSTOCK CIRCUMFERENCE)
THAT CONNECTS THE UPPER AND THE
LOWER PARTS OF THE ROOTSTOCKS.

10. PATCH BUDDING
 IT IS THE SIMPLIEST TO PERFORM
AMONG THE VARIOUS METHODS
OF BUDDING DUE TO EASE IS IN
REMOVING OR PREPARING
RECTANGULAR PATCHES OF BARK.
 THE COMPLETE REMOVAL OF A
RECTANGULAR SHAPE PATCH OF
BARK.
 THE PATCH OF BUD IS CUT FROM
BOTH THE ROOTSTOCK AND THE
BUDSTICK BY TWO PARALLEL
HORIZONTAL CUTS.
