The invention relates to a dragon fruit
grafting method, which comprises the following steps of (1) selecting a stock; (2) culturing a stock
seedling; (3)
cutting an aged
branch of the dragon fruit into a
branch section with length of 6-10cm as a scion, selecting a
ridge,
cutting a plane with length of 3-5cm along the
xylem part of the
ridge from the base part of the
branch section, longitudinally
cutting one part, and cutting the
ridge off; (4) transversely cutting one part at the position, 10-20cm away from ground, of the stock, selecting one stock ridge, longitudinally cutting one part along the
xylem part of the ridge to form the depth of 3-5cm, parallelly cutting one part to the outside, enabling the width to be the same as the thickness of the scion, transversely cutting one part at the lower surface of the cutting opening, taking the meaty ridge stem out, and forming a groove-shaped union; (5) inserting the scion into the stock union, aligning the
xylem parts, fixing, and binding by a plastic tape; (6)
coating a
plastic bag on a
grafting union, so as to complete
grafting; (7) after grafting, performing conventional management. The dragon fruit
grafting method has the advantages that the operation is convenient, the speed is high, the
stress resistance property and suitability of the
plant can be improved, the
disease and pest resistance capability is improved, the adhering of the scion and the stock is easy, and the
survival rate reaches 97%.
