Key Technical Points and Operation Methods of Vegetable Grafting Explained
Abstract Top-insertion grafting method: Pull the bamboo skewer inserted in the rootstock out, then insert the trimmed scion into the hole, with the scion cotyledons and rootstock cotyledons forming a "cross" shape.

When is the best time to bag and unbag grapes
Abstract Grape bagging time: For open-field cultivated grapes in southern regions, bagging can be done promptly after fruit set following cluster trimming and berry thinning; while for greenhouse and rain-shelter cultivated grapes, bagging can be done 15-20 days after fruit set. Grape unbagging time: With traditional bagging, bags can be removed 10-15 days before harvest.
