FPA150 (WEEK 8) - PROPAGATION TECHNIQUES

on

 WEEK 8 (1 DISEMBER 2023)


Assalamualaikum and hello everyone!!! Welcome again to my blog💜. Salam UITM dihatiku! My name is Nur 'Ain Syafiqah Binti Mohamad Hirani. I am from Selangor. I studied in Diploma In Planting Industry Management (DPIM) at UiTM Melaka Campus Jasin. By the way, this is a blog about FPA150 Fieldwork II that all DPIM's student will learn during semester 2. Hope that everyone will get useful information from my blog and hope you enjoy it !!!

Every Friday in semester 2, all students part 1 until part 3 from Faculty Of Plantation And Agrotechnology need to get together in the field. In this blog, I want to show our time and activity that we have followed :

6:10 a.m. - 6:30 a.m.
  • Subuh prayers
  • Class representative take attendance for our class B
6:30 a.m. - 7:15 a.m.
  • Line up according to their respective classes from part 1 until part 3
  • Morning exercise
7:15 a.m. - 8:00 a.m.
  • Moved to Agrotech 
  • Read Al-Kahfi(The first 10 sentences and last 10 sentences), Dua Dhuha, Doa Qunut Nazilah and Dua Rabithah(Recitation)
  • Sing the National Anthem, next is Wawasan Setia Warga UiTM and Planters Song followed by prayer.  
  • Planter's talk that delivered by a student representative of part 2 from class D about Plant Propagation.


8:00 a.m. - 10.00 a.m.
  • All student from class A until class D moved to the nursery and Madam give a briefing on plant propagation for rubber trees.
  • Each class have to use 10 rubber tree trunks for the budding plant process and use turnera tree for cutting process. 
  • Rest
  • Class dismissed.              
Briefing

CUTTING PROCESS 

STEP 1 : Turnera tree branches are cut about 15cm


STEP 2 : Dip a cut turnera tree branch into a container of rooting powder

STEP 3 : Stick the branch into a polybag filled with soil


PATCH BUDDING PROCESS 

STEP 1 : Cut a budstick from a scion plant and cut out your patches.

STEP 2 : Graft and wrap your patch.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. What is budding ?
- Budding or bud grafting is an artificial method of sexual or vegetative propagation in plants.

2. 3 ways to do budding in plants :
    1) Using T Budding 
- Tuberous budding stands out as one of the most expedient propagation methods, extensively adopted for mass propagation. The technique derives its name from the characteristic ‘T’ shaped incision made in the bark of the rootstock to accommodate the scion bud. The scion shoots used in this method often resemble a shield, leading to its alternate name, “shield budding.”

    2) Trying chip budding
- Chip budding comes into play when the plant experiences suboptimal growth conditions, resulting in the rootstock bark’s inability to lift adequately. The methodology bears resemblance to T-budding but distinguishes itself by requiring two incisions, one each on the rootstock and the scion. This ensures a snug fit of the scion bud into the rootstock.

    3) Using patch budding
- Certain plant species, like walnut and cashew, possess thick barks or have barks that tend to split longitudinally along the stem. Patch budding is tailored for such species. In this technique, a rectangular section of the rootstock’s bark is meticulously removed and replaced with a congruent patch from the scion, which carries a single bud. This ensures seamless integration and growth of the scion bud on the rootstock.

3. Types of budding :
     i. Exogenous budding
    ii. Endogenous budding
    
4. Advantages of budding in plants :
    i) Efficiency and speed
   ii) Genetic and Consistency
  iii) Preservation of Desirable Traits
  iv) Colonial propagation

THATS ALL FOR WEEK 8. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SPEND YOUR TIME  !
😊👋
