Copulation

Copulation refers to a variety of inoculations by a handle. The name of this method of vaccination is from the Latin verb "cop-ulo", meaning "connect", accurately reflecting the essence of the process of this type of vaccination. Simple copying is used in cases where the thickness of the rootstock and the graft are the same, which is necessary for joining and splicing the components. When carrying out simple copulation, simple oblique cuts of the same length are made on the root and prive( cuttings).The length of the cut must be greater than the

Technique for copulating simple and improved

1. For simple copulation, it is necessary to perform on the root and fresh simple cuts of the same length equal to 35-4 diameters of the cuttings.

2. The slices must coincide completely, so that the fabrics of the cambium of the rootstock and of the scion are matched, and after tying the slices, it is necessary to hold the strapping.

3 - The main disadvantage of simple copulation is the impossibility of carrying it out if the diameter of the rootstock and the scion does not match. In such cases, resort to improved copulation.

4. For this purpose, on the sections of the rootstock and graft, do cuts or tongues at a distance of 1/3 of the cut length from the top of the cut.

5. It is necessary to combine the slices so that the tongue on the fore-fitting enters the splitting into the rootstock, after combining the slices it is necessary to make the binding of the

the diameter of the branch 3.5-4 times. Thus, with the thickness of the rootstock and the scion 1.5 cm,within 5-6 cm. The cut surface on the cuttings should be combined with the surface of the cut into the rootstock so that the cambium fabrics of the two components of the graft coincide. After combining the slices, the place of inoculation should be tightly bound with a film, and when tying it, it should be ensured that slices do not move, otherwise the coalescence will deteriorate. The main disadvantage of simple copulation is the instability of the articulation of the rootstock and the graft and the need to use only the same diameter components. Therefore, gardeners often turn to the technique for improved copulation. It differs in that on the sections of rootstocks and grafting with a knife they make clefts( incisions, tongues) 1/3 of the distance from the upper acute end of the cut. The depth of the cleft is almost to the beginning of the oblique cut. After this, the privy-th stalk is applied to the rootstock so that the tongues enter into the cuts. The tongue on the priovo is to enter the splitting into the rootstock, and the slices must be fully combined. Then you need to do the strapping, starting it a little higher and ending just below the junction.
