嫁接 /jiàjiē/

Agriculture | n. m.

a multiplication method typical of modern oliviculture that consists in uniting a part of one plant, often a budded stalk, with another plant that will hold the stalk up and nourish it, until both become one plant with an aerial part having characteristics of the former, and roots having characteristics of the latter.

Example

Wild olives benefit from the grafting, which produces more compact trees with higher yields and bigger fruits.
