Lateral tip
The side tapering is a method of plant grafting within the resting time of the plants.
The sharpening is done instead of the side flattening when the rice is weaker than the base . The bark of the base is carefully detached from the cambium with a vertical incision on the side so that the noble rice, which is wedge-shaped on both sides, can be inserted. After the growth, the head of the base is thrown off.
