Juurvõrg

Juurvõrg, also known as rootstock, is a technique used in horticulture and agriculture to improve the growth, health, and productivity of plants. It involves grafting a desirable scion (the top part of the plant) onto a rootstock (the lower part of the plant). The rootstock provides the scion with a strong root system, which can enhance the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients, resist diseases, and tolerate adverse environmental conditions. This technique is commonly used in the cultivation of fruit trees, ornamental plants, and certain vegetables. Juurvõrg can also be used to propagate plants that are difficult to grow from seed or cuttings. The choice of rootstock is crucial, as it can significantly impact the scion's growth and development. Proper care and management of the rootstock are essential to ensure the successful integration of the scion and the overall health of the plant.
