I-budding involves inserting a bud from a scion (the desired plant variety) into a rootstock by making a vertical cut and placing the bud into the cut. This technique is effective for ensuring a strong graft union and promoting healthy plant growth. Benefits of I-Budding High Success Rate: Often results in a strong and healthy graft union. Improved Plant Health: Promotes vigorous growth and disease resistance. Uniformity: Ensures that the grafted plants produce uniform fruits or flowers. Versatility: Can be performed at various times of the year, depending on the plant species. Steps for I-Budding Select the Rootstock and Budwood: Rootstock: Choose a healthy and vigorous rootstock that is compatible with the budwood. Budwood: Select a budwood from a healthy plant with desirable traits. Prepare the Rootstock: Make a Vertical Cut: Using a sharp knife, make a vertical cut into the rootstock about 2-3 cm long. The cut should expose the cambium layer (the green layer just under the bark). Prepare the Budwood: Cut the Bud: From the budwood, cut a bud with a small piece of wood attached, matching the size of the cut made on the rootstock. Ensure the cambium layers of both the bud and the rootstock are exposed. Insert the Bud: Fit the Bud: Place the bud into the vertical cut on the rootstock, ensuring that the cambium layers of both the bud and the rootstock are in contact. Secure the Graft: Wrap the graft area with grafting tape or a similar material to hold the bud in place and protect it from drying out. Care for the Grafted Plant: Watering: Keep the grafted plant well-watered to support the healing process. Protection: Protect the grafted area from pests and extreme weather conditions. Monitoring: Regularly check the graft to ensure it is healing properly and that the bud is growing. Practical Application in the Philippines In the Philippines, I-budding is particularly beneficial for fruit trees such as mangoes, citrus, and guavas. This technique helps improve the quality and yield of these crops, making it a valuable practice for local farmers12. Challenges Skill and Precision: Requires careful handling and precise cuts to ensure successful grafting. Initial Cost: There is an initial cost for grafting materials and tools.
