    Marcotting Final PPP

    The document describes the process of marcotting, which is a method of asexual plant propagation where aerial stems are rooted while still attached to the parent plant. It details the common procedures for marcotting, which include selecting a healthy plant and shoot, girdling the stem to remove a strip of bark, scraping the debarked portion, wedging it with moss or soil, and securing the rooting medium around the stem with plastic wrap. The goal is to induce root formation in the stem while still attached to the parent plant to produce a new plant.

    MARCOTTING

    Marcotting

     is defined as the asexual method


    of plant propagation which
    involves the rooting of aerial
    stems while attached to the
    parent plant.
    COMMON
    PROCEDURES
    IN
    MARCOTTING
    FIRST PROCEDURE

    PLANT AND SHOOT SELECTION

     Choose a healthy and vigorous


    plant that will serve as the parent
    plant.
     Choose also the plant with plenty
    of leaves.
    SECOND PROCEDURE

    GIRDLING
     A strip of bark is first removed
    from around the portion of the
    stem to be rooted.
    SECOND PROCEDURE

    • Look on the
    node
    SECOND PROCEDURE

    • Press the “sharp”


    knife against the
    bark preferably as
    close as possible
    below the node.
    Moving the knife
    in circular motion
    around the stem.
    SECOND PROCEDURE

    • A similar cut is
    made generally
    about 2 to 5
    cm below the
    first cut.
    SECOND PROCEDURE

    • The two cuts are


    then connected
    by a straight
    upward cut and
    the bark is pried
    loose and
    removed.
    THIRD PROCEDURE
    SCRAPING
     The debarked
    portion of the
    stem is then
    scraped slightly
    to remove the
    cambium layer.
    FOURTH PROCEDURE

    WEDGING

     Inserting suitable material on the


    wound of the plant just like the
    sphagnum moss or moistened soil.
    FIFTH PROCEDURE

    PLACING AND SECURING THE


    ROOTING MEDIUM
     A slightly moistened sphagnum
    moss or soil is placed around the
    debarked stem and wrapped with
    a piece of plastic sheet.
    FIFTH PROCEDURE

    • As an alternative,
    the plastic sheet
    may be placed
    first on the stem
    with one end just
    below the lower
    cut.
    FIFTH PROCEDURE

    • The rooting
    medium is
    then inserted
    gradually.
    FIFTH PROCEDURE

    • Above the
    upper cut is
    tied securely
    to the stem.
    • A marcotted plant.
    ASSIGNMENT

    Research on the following:


    • Define Grafting
    • Types of Grafting
    • Importance of Grafting
    • Common methods of Grafting
