This is the 28th article of Li Weihua's watermelon garden.
This grafting method is a method to learn at a meeting in Suzhou on April 14 to inspect the local nursery factory, which should have been written earlier, but I am really guilty that it has been delayed for so long. There are endless things to do and troubles to deal with every day, and people may be middle-aged, probably like this! After a little digression, let's get down to business.
You may be very surprised, the splitting method and the plugging method are originally two grafting methods, how to make one method? Let's take a closer look to see if the name I gave makes sense. 
The picture below is the grafting scene, which is the same as the one plugged in by Zhengzhou Zhongmu, a group of two people.
Here are the tools for grafting, the tools for plugging. This is also the reason why it is called the plug-in method.
The picture below is the grafting tool of Zhengzhou Zhongmu, you can compare it.
They are all plugged tools, and the size and style are very different.
Of course, the main difference is in the grafting method.
The first step is to cut the scion.
Note that this is double-sided, which makes the contact surface larger.
In the second step, remove the rootstock growth point and plug it.
In the third step, the sharpened scion is inserted into the rootstock.
Note the main point, he is directly inserted into the growth point, and the force is relatively large, so it should be clamped with clips. Moreover, inserting the growth point can prevent it from continuing to germinate, which can save labor and is easy to manage.
The fourth step is to clamp it with grafting clips, and the whole process is over.
Compared with the plugging method in Zhengzhou, this method can save labor later because its growth point is destroyed.
Second, the contact surface is large and easy to survive. Thirdly, and most importantly, they grafted seedless watermelons. Seedless watermelons are weak seedlings, so they invented a grafting method called large scion and small rootstocks, which is this method. Because its scion is large, it is impossible to use such a small bamboo skewer, because of the change of the bamboo skewer, so it must be clamped, which is one ring after another. You can take a closer look again, is it this grafting method, thick.
It shrinks the advantages of mating and splitting, so I call it the splitting and plugging method.
The seedlings are very well raised!
