What are the advantages and disadvantages of indirect learning and grafting?
• Ability to make students accept greater responsibility for their own learning. When they
experience success, they gain more confidence in their own learning abilities and feel less need
for the instructor to give them the "answer." This is a particularly helpful attitude for students
who must learn to function on their own in the library.
• It allows to reproduce fruit trees with high productivity and fruit quality.
• Facilitates the propagation of varieties that are not well adapted to soil conditions or have
weak root systems by grafting them into vigorous rootstocks.
• It allows joining a plant (pattern), another variety or different species, each contributing its
own characteristics.
• Reproduce a mother plant with the same characteristics and production potentials.
• Shorten the juvenile period of the plant and entering production before the non-grafted
ones.
• Facilitates cultural tasks, such as pruning, phytosanitary applications and fruit harvesting.
• These methods are essential. They follow the student through the exploration of a topic.
Because each student's learning is different, the direction a lesson will take cannot always be
anticipated. Therefore, the instructor must be very flexible and capable to respond to any
situation that arises. This requires a very thorough knowledge of the subject or great
improvisational skills. It also requires a lot of confidence in your own ability to resolve any
situation that arises.
• The student's lack of experience to learn from this type of situation. The skills needed to
learn from a discussion are very different from those needed to learn from a conference. it
requires greater complexity of thinking on the part of the student and to be able at the same
time to participate, monitor the main points and process ideas.
• The time it takes. These methods are much longer than any other instructional method.
• Incompatibility: which occurs in various stages of the graft. The incompatibility is manifested
at the level of the graft-pattern junction point, the main manifestation being a strangulation
known as bottleneck, which is caused by the obstruction of the xylem and phloem, reducing
the normal circulation of soil nutrients. Incompatibility is one of the main problems of grafts
since it negatively influences the genetic composition of each individual.
• When the union of the bud and the standard is not successful.
• When there is poor development of the graft or the expected development does not occur.
• When the difference between the growth of the stock and the graft or of the graft with
respect to the stock, is markedly disproportionate.
• When there is a diameter gap less than the diameter of both the standard and the bud.
