Entclips for cucumber species
For cucurbit such as cucumber, zucchini and (water) melon there are two grafting methods that are used: the approximation grafting or the top grafting (also known as the Japanese grafting method). For both methods there are different grafting clips available.
Approximation grafting for cucurbit
When using the approximation grafting method, you can choose between the PS2 or PS3 grafting clip:
- PT2: this grafting clip is available in size 10 mm.
- PT3: this is by far the most sold clip for the approach tent. This clip is available in sizes S, M and L.
Top grafting /Japanese grafting method
To apply the top grafting (or Japanese grafting method) you can use the PS1 or PS7 grafting clip. Both grafting clips have enough power to hold the grafted plants together well, without the stick support. This saves labour and materials.
- PS1: suitable for different stem thicknesses and available in size 7 mm.
- PS7: especially suitable for smaller stem thicknesses and available in size 6 mm. This is by far the most commonly used grafting clip for copying cucumbers.
