    The document describes two plant propagation techniques: marcotting (air layering) and T-budding. Marcotting involves inducing a stem to form roots while still attached to the parent plant by removing bark, scraping the cambium layer, and covering the area with soil. T-budding is a grafting method where a bud is attached to a rootstock to create a new plant by making cuts in the shape of a T and inserting the bud shield. Both are asexual vegetative propagation methods.

    Marcotting method in plant propagation

    - is an old term for plant propagation technique now called air layering, where a stem is
    induced to form roots white still on the parent plant.

    Marcotting or air layering

    - an asexual or vegetative method of Plant Propagation.

    Materials

    Sharp knife

    Plastic sheet, 3 inches wide and 6 inches long 1-pc

    Tie wire, 1 inch long 2pcs

    Fertile soil/Coconut hust/Coconut dust

    Procedure:

    1. Select Branch for Air Layering/Marcotting


    2. Remove a ring at bark 3 to 5 cm long below node
    3. Scrape the Cambium layer to prevent healing before root formation takes place
    4. Do not scrape too deep in the wood
    5. Wrap the cut
    6. Surface with fertile soil
    7. Cover the marcot securely with a plastic sheet
    8. Frequent watering must be done because it dries faster than plastic
    9. When sufficient rots have formed

    T-Budding method in plant propagation

    - T-budding or shield budding is a technique of grafting to change varieties of fruit trees. A


    bud is attached to a rootstock to make a new plant.

    Materials

    Sharp knife

    Plant

    Procedure:

    1. Cut a bud stick from its source. Search for fully matured buds growing along the original
    plant (often called a scion in budding
    2. Caru a bud shield for grafting
    3. Make a T-cut in the new plant
    4. Create a pocket
    5. Trim the bud shield if needed
    6. Graft the bud shield to the root stock
    Seedling will take longer to produce fruit
