Disease screening

Disease screening in grafting checks the health and disease resistance of the rootstock and scion before grafting. It prevents the transmission of harmful pathogens like fungi or viruses, improving grafting success. This process includes tests, visual checks, and DNA analysis to detect hidden diseases. 

Disease screening in the grafting method benefits orchardists, nursery growers, and horticulturists working with grafted plants. It ensures disease-free plants, reduces chemical use, and boosts productivity. Disease screening helps prevent losses, supports sustainable farming, and improves product quality.
