Synopsis (short abstract) To achieve a successful graft, it is important to have healthy, actively growing rootstocks, as well as scions with active (swollen) buds that have not yet opened. Normally, scions and rootstocks should be of the same diameter, in order to align cambium layers. This is required for the formation of the graft union, to allow the effective movement of the nutrients and water needed for plant growth between roots and shoots.

    The diseases caused by viruses, viroids, bacteria and phytoplasms resulting in important economic losses are widely disseminated globally as a result of their propagation by grafting without sanitary control on the trees taken as source of the buds. Top-working is also a major form in which all graft-transmissible pathogens are spread. Although insect vectors exist for some of the pathogens, man has been undoubtedly their main transmitter.
