Hello all,

This new website with a great deal of high quality info on grafting maybe
of interest to some of you.


Although Grafting is used to superficially and artificially resolve some agricultural problems it creates others that are not only worse, but impossible to resolve, in their place. Grafting represents a failure to understand or respect the integrity of another living organism and I regret it being promoted here on this list. Plants produce life giving substances and the legitimate role of Man is to study, comprehend and work with rather than against creatures with capacities that we ourselves do not possess.

I have no doubt what-so-ever regarding the validity of that statement and personally, eat nothing from grafted trees. Any country subscribing to this USDA promoted mistake is unlikely to convince those accustomed to consuming the fruit of whole (rather than composite) organisms. This same mentality led to GM crops. Don't fall for it. Stick with evolutionary viable breeding and reproductive strategies.

Douglas

Enjoy!

Jerome

Hello, All.

I am pleased to announce the availability of a comprehensive web-based
portal for research-based information on vegetable grafting …
http://www.vegetablegrafting.org/

A small but very skilled team (David, Ron, Dawn and others at Apex
Webstudio) constructed the website. The portal currently houses content
obtained from two major sources: 1) publicly-available university and
USDA extension-research documents and 2) technical contributors
representing the academic, USDA and industry communities, only some of
whom are directly associated with the USDA-SCRI project named at the
portal. My role was to coordinate the process (i.e., integrate the
construction/appearance and content development aspects). Stephanie
Short at OARDC and the USDA-SCRI Grafting Project” Extension, Outreach
and Teaching Working Group assisted throughout.
