In this video you will learn how to make tabletop grafting of grapes using grafting pruners and splitting. Tabletop grafting is a method of propagating grapes in winter or spring, when the vine is dormant. A grafting pruner is a special tool that allows you to make an accurate and neat cut on the rootstock and scion, ensuring their tight connection. Split grafting is a method in which a longitudinal cut is made into the rootstock and a wedge-shaped cut into the scion, after which they are inserted into each other.
In the video you will see how to prepare the rootstock and scion, how to choose the appropriate pruning shears, how to make cuttings on the vine correctly, how to connect the rootstock and scion, how to protect the grafting site from drying out and infections, how to stratify grafted cuttings, how to prepare heteroauxin for grafting.
Tabletop grafting of grapes is an effective and affordable way to obtain new grape varieties, improve the yield and quality of berries, increase resistance to pests and diseases, and also adapt grapes to different soil and climatic conditions.
