Reciprocal Grafts between Large Plants: Technique and Evaluation with Cowpeas†
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 October 2008
Summary
A technique has been developed and tested for successfully grafting large, leafy cowpea shoots onto roots, which may be nodulated or not. Grafting per se had no significant effect on either the production or distribution of vegetative or reproductive dry matter compared with control plants left intact throughout growth. Furthermore, numerical components of yield and the concentration (%) and content (mg) of nitrogen in respective plant components were remarkably invariant. Examples are discussed of the variations in nitrogen nutrition which can be achieved and the potentials of the technique in general.
