Plant Grafting Innovations
Plant grafting innovations have transformed horticulture by enabling the cultivation of robust and high-yielding crops. This technique involves joining the root system of one plant to the shoot of another, combining desirable traits such as disease resistance and better fruit quality. Recent advancements include automated grafting machines and the use of compatible wild rootstocks to improve adaptability in challenging climates. Grafting also aids in controlling plant height and enhancing nutrient uptake. These innovations offer sustainable solutions to address challenges in modern agriculture, ensuring food security and resilience to environmental stresses.
