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.

Key Points of Post-Grafting Management Techniques for Top-Grafting and Variety Conversion of Citrus
1. Do well in cutting the rootstock stubs. After using side grafting with exposed buds, the rootstock stubs should be cut or sawed off. This should be done in two steps. First, leave about 15cm of rootstock stub above the graft union. After the new shoots have become lignified, cut the stub flush with the graft union and smooth the cut surface with a knife. 2. Do well in removing sprouts. After top-grafting, because the apical dominance has been removed,

Detailed Guide to the Method of Cultivating Mango Grafting Rootstock Seedlings
In monoembryonic mango varieties, a single seed produces only one seedling, while polyembryonic varieties can germinate and grow into multiple seedlings. A monoembryonic seed has only one embryo (a sexual embryo); the embryo is large, and the single seedling it develops into is vigorous. A polyembryonic seed has multiple embryos; the embryos are smaller, and the multiple seedlings they develop into are weaker
