Mango grafting is the process of transferring a piece of mature, bearing tree or scion to a separate seedling called rootstock. The scion becomes the canopy of the tree and the rootstock the lower trunk and root system 1. Mango tree grafting is the most reliable and economical method of mango propagation 1.
There are several grafting techniques such as top-wedge, whip-tongue and side-veneer, which differ in the way the scion is attached to the rootstock. Usually, the mango tree is grafted using top-wedge grafting and veneer grafting techniques 2. Grafting is the most reliable way of propagating mangoes 2.
