I. Objectives

After the lesson, the students are expected to:

1. Define grafting
2. Identify the two parts of grafting
3. Describe the different kinds of grafting
4. Follow the steps of cleft grafting

II. Subject Matter

Grafting

Reference/s : Internet ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting

Materials Laptop and projector ( if any ) , mango plants and parts , manila paper and marker.

Approach : Deductive

III. Procedure

A. Learning Activity

Teacher’ Activity Student’s Activity

“Good morning class”

“Good morning Sir!”

“Let us pray first..”

( one student will lead the Prayer)

(checking of Attendance)
...say present..
(students raise their hand and say present as the
Teacher calls their name)

“ So how was your weekend?””

“ it was great Sir”
“ that’s good! Have you enjoyed your weekend
bonding with your family?”
 “ Of course sir ! it was a lot of fun”.
“Thats good to know. For this morning, our
discussion will be focus on asexual plant
propagation. But before that, we will have a warm-
up activity.
“ yes “
Every body will perform an “ Action Song”

B. Lesson Proper

Teacher’ Activity Student’s Activity

What do you see in my hand ?
Mango , Sir
Very good ! Who among you likes mango?
( students raise their hands )

If I’m going to eat this mango and sow the seed

today, How many years am I going to wait to harvest
its fruit ?

7 – 10 years Sir

It’s too long isn’t it ?

What should a farmer do to lessen the number of
years for a plant to bear fruits ?

He should propagate the plant by

asexual propagation
That’s a very nice idea!

C. Presentation of the lesson

What is asexual plant propagation?

Anyone?

It is a kind of asexual plant propagation in which the

parts of plant are used rather than the seed.

That’s a clever idea!

Plants can be grown by using its parts like stems,
 branches and leaves. This method of propagation
is called asexual plant propagation.

D. Presentation of the lesson

Today, we are going to discuss one kind of asexual

plant propagation. We call it GRAFTING.

Who among you can define grafting ?

It is kind of asexual propagation of a plant in which

a section of plant stem with leaf bud ( scion ) is
inserted into the rootstock.

Precisely !

There are two parts of grafting:

1. Scion – is a section of plant stem or branch with 3 to 4 leaf buds joined to a stock in grafting.
The upper part of grafting.

2. Rootstock – is a part of a tree which becomes the root system of the grafted tree.
The lower part of grafting.
 There are four types of grafting

1. WHIP GRAFTING ( also called splice or tongue grafting ) - Is one of the oldest methods of asexual
plant propagation known. The end of the scion is cut so as to leave a tongue – shaped piece of
wood and another cut is made in it. The scion is fitted into the stock which has been prepared and
covers the joint with ice bag and ties it with scotch tape.

Figure 1 - WHIP GRAFTING

2. SIDE GRAFTING – insert the scion without cutting off the top of the stock. A slit is made in the bark
of the stock where the scion is inserted.
Figure 2 - SIDE GRAFTING

3. SADDLE GRAFTING – a V-shape which is made in the scion and the end of the stock is whittled
to a point so that the scion will fit over it like a saddle.

Figure 3 - SADDLE GRAFTING

4. CLEFT GRAFTING – one of the simplest and most popular forms of grafting. The stock is split to
form a cleft.
 Figure 4 - CLEFT GRAFTING

Among the four types of grafting , the most common and effective way of grafting mango plant is
cleft grafting.

APPLICATION

Today we are going to perform cleft grafting, one of the best and effective method in propagating
mango.

Materials needed are : a sharp knife , ice bag , scotch tape, mango rootstock, Scion.

Methods of Cleft Grafting

The first thing to do is choose the root stock and the scion. They must be capable of uniting. Usually ,
but not always , closely related plants, such as two mango cultivars , can be grafted together.
- This mango seedling will be our rootstock, take note of the size ( pencil size ) we are
going to look a scion from a mother plant.
- It must be of the same size as the stock.
- This is a very good scion from a mother plant that is already bearing fruit.

Second thing to do is to remove the leaves of the scion and the rootstock.

Third , cut off the top of the rootstock and slit it to form a cleft.
 Fourth, made a wedge – shape cut to the scion.

Fifth , insert the scion into the cleft of the rootstock. Make sure that the cambium layers are compatible
or fitted.

Lastly , cover the scion and some part of the rootstock with icebag and tie the joint tightly with scotch
tape.After a week the scion begins to grow if it is successful but if it is not, no bud will come out.

Generalization :

Mango growers are able to produce mango to meet the demands of every Filipino. The make the
Philippines as one of the exporter of mango by the aid of using grafting.
