All the professor and doctors of agriculture in our various institutions should be sacked.
Agriculture isn't about class room and lecturing
It's about science and practicality
The govt should haul their lazy asses of govt wage bill and bring in fresh young men who are ready to go to the farm

The trend in progressive agric nations in fruit-tree planting is to plant only grafted seedlings, a practice that started since 1600 years ago. I am deeply worried that most people don't see the need to plant grafted seedlings either out of ignorance p,superstition, or laziness. Could it be lack of resources or unavailability of choiced seedlings?

I have encountered CROP SCIENCE lecturers who know every term about grafting but cant graft nor teach their students the practice of grafting plants. I once looked stupid before some undergrads when I suggested learning grafting for self-employment. Why is our agric practice this backward. What is wrong with "US"?

Pavore9:


2 years? I doubt you will be getting any harvest

MyChoice1:


I don't think they are the lazy ones here, the youths are! Go and checkout Road safety and prisons recruitment... Even Agric graduates full there! They taught you the theory, then you go out there and practice, research and use your youthful imaginations and come up with amazing ideas.

all those lecturers that are in their late 70s still using 1980s model to teach students when things are changing everyday...

NOETHNICITY:
This is the real problem - too many theoretical teachings.
The advanced world nolonger teaches theories
Rather they are focused on teaching the application.

Our curriculum is as good as dead

Rebuke:






Yes, getting to two years now. Talk to me bro, yhu mean itz never going to produce?

Pavore9:


Though some varieties takes between 18-24 months to get the harvest, I have seen one that took 31months but it was a cold region.

By your timeline and how fresh the plant is, you ought to have seen the fruit .

Can you track where the variety is sourced from?

oriaburefarms:
Like this one from our nursery

Does it have any side effects? For example, we know most scientifically-engineered things have a way of causing cancer on d long run. Does this have any chemicals or whatever involved, that can pose a problem in d future for consumers

Wow....

Thanks OP for reminding me about what I had read in Primary and Secondary schools decades ago.

I have never seen a grafted plant though, but I have eaten "Tangelo" before.

Would Google more on the subject.

Give more examples of plant-combinations that can be grafted if you can...

happybrother:
Take my words, every plant that grow like a tree can be grafted. Note that you can change what type of mango your already-bearing mango tree bears without planting a new tree. We call it canopy rejuvination.

delpee:
@Op

Please where is your nursery located. I'd like to buy some plants.

Pavore9.....the topic on this thread is different from what it said on the front page. The two convey different messages.
On the front page, it was talking about the fruits. What the poster was trying to talk about was the grafting process itself, and why most people haven't gone that route yet, not just the fruits from it.

alphaconde:
i no even understand wetin una de talk here

TEYA:

I am in abuja, I have been looking for such trees; mangoes, pears, Guava, oranges etc, but without success. I communicated with a friend who is a lecturer in an agric department of an A level in my state but I was surprised when he told me they don't do any such thing. Can you please help me out?

oyetpel:
I am still confused about grafting.

I have a citrus seedling, where will i get a scion from a desirable citrus plant? It is from an already existing grown citrus plant?
