Citrus propagation involves the process of creating new plants by vegetative methods or sexual methods to ensure the desired traits are maintained in the progeny. The most common methods of citrus propagation are grafting, budding, and, to a lesser extent, seed propagation. These techniques help in maintaining the quality and productivity of the citrus plants while avoiding the inherent variability that comes with sexual reproduction. Grafting is the most widely used method for propagating citrus, as it ensures the production of trees with specific characteristics such as high fruit quality, disease resistance, and early maturity. This method involves joining the scion (a cutting from the desired variety) to the rootstock (a different citrus variety that provides strong root growth). Grafting is done by placing the cut end of the scion onto the rootstock’s cut surface, ensuring proper alignment and securing it with tape or wax. After the graft union has healed, the tree continues to grow as a single plant. The rootstock provides the root system, while the scion determines the variety of the fruit. Budding is another common vegetative propagation method used for citrus. In this method, a bud from the desired citrus variety is inserted into
