2 In basket composting, the plants should be spaced _____ cm away from the basket to avoid
burning.
B 15-20
A 60 cm
B Cutting
5 Air layerage is commonly known as
Marcotting
6 How many month(s) after inarching should the scion be cut from the mother plant?
C 3 months
7 This used to refer to the inability of the scion and the stock to form and maintain a union that will
result in desired plant growth
incompatible
8 Aside from basket composting, what are other sources of nutrients for BIG? Give 3.
Trench composting, Traditional composting, Liquid bio-fertilizer
10 It is a piece of stem inserted between the scion and the stock to minimize graft incompatibility or
to take advantage of its growth controlling properties.
Interstock
3. What will happen to the plant’s vascular bundles if a dull knife is used in graftage and cuttage?
If a dull knife is used in grafting or cottage, the vascular bundle of the plant is likely to be destroyed
because the person grafting continues to scrape off the scion until it is damaged and the grafted plant
won’t germinate. The dull knife will cause a lot of tissue damage, and the graft or cut will not heal
properly.
4. What are some of the desirable characteristics that should be considered in the selection of
rootstock?
Favored for the soil and water availability, drainage, and irrigation practice.
5. Give physical or visual descriptions of the cambium layer. Discuss why it is scraped off in marcotting.
However, in graftage, effort is taken that the cambium layer of the stock and the scion matches?
The cambium layer is a thin formative layer of delicate meristematic tissue between the xylem and
phloem present in most vascular plants and it is responsible for secondary growth.
In marcotting, the cambium layer is scraped off in order to expose the pericycle, the site of lateral root
formation. Since the outer layer is the phloem, it is the only scraped part. When it is scraped, the supply
of food from the root is cut thus the branch which has limited supply of food coming through the xylem
develops its own root system in order to make up for the deficiency. The survival depends on the health
of the parent plant. The condition of the root development varies with the vigor of the branch chosen. If
the branch chosen is infected, its rooting will be weak.
In grafting, the cambium layer of the stock and the scion should match so that they will regenerate as
one in union

The dull knife will cause a lot of tissue damage, and the graft or cut will not heal properly.
4. What are some of the desirable characteristics that should be considered in the selection of
rootstock?
Favored for the anticipated soil and water availability, drainage, and irrigation practice.
5. Give physical or visual descriptions of the cambium layer. Discuss why it is scraped off in marcotting.
However, in graftage, effort is taken that the cambium layer of the stock and the scion matches?
The cambium is a thin formative layer between the xylem and phloem of most vascular plants that give
rise to new cells and responsible for secondary growth. Because in marcotting, the wound is prevented
from healing and from the reconnecting of the upper and lower barks. Additionally, the cambium layer is
scraped off in order to expose the pericycle which is the site of lateral root formation. While in grafting,
the stock and scion should match so that they will regenerate as one.
