What are the materials needed in budding?

Budding, a method of asexual reproduction in plants, primarily requires a healthy parent plant from which a bud will be taken, a suitable rootstock for grafting, and a sharp knife or blade for cutting. Additionally, materials such as grafting tape or wax may be used to secure the bud in place and protect it from infection. Proper tools and a clean working environment are also essential to ensure successful grafting and minimize the risk of disease.
