Part Two: Use the information presented in the data table below to analyze the effectiveness of different types of grafts. Number of Description Observations Success Rate Grafts Failures often due to grafting clips Horizontal top graft above 3 being too big for stems. Hard to keep 0 cotyledon stems in place Failures often due to grafting clips Horizontal top graft 4 being too big for stems. Hard to keep 2/4 or 50% below cotyledon stems in place. Hard to line up vertical cuts without any Vertical top graft above 3 gaps. Failures often due to grafting clips 0 cotyledon being just a little too big for stems. Hard to line up vertical cuts without any Vertical top graft below 2 gaps. Failures often due to grafting clips 1/2 or 50% cotyledon being just a little too big for stems. graft above 2 2 or 100% cotyledon Cleft graft below 3 2/3 or 67% cotyledon Side graft above 1 cotyledon Side below cotyledon 1 Data Analysis Questions 1. How does the type of cut affect the graft? 2. How does the placement of the cut affect the graft? 3. Which type of graft do you think was most success and why? 4. Which type of graft do you think was least success and why? 5. What other data could be collected to help determine the success of each graft?
