Abstract

Grafting is a vegetative propagation technique used for forest genetic improvement. It involves the multiplication of selected matrices to produce improved seeds. In this study, we evaluated three grafting techniques for Eucalyptus grandis. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design, analyzing the techniques of cleft grafting with grafting pliers, bark grafting, and cleft grafting with a grafting knife. The technique with grafting pliers showed 50% establishment, superior to bark grafting (33.3%) and grafting using a knife (33.3%). The shoot length was significantly greater when using pliers (9.9 cm) and bark grafting (4.9 cm) than when using a grafting knife (2.6 cm). We conclude that the cleft grafting technique with pliers is the most suitable for this species due to operational practicality.
