1. Grafting involves joining a scion (a small piece of plant material with buds) onto a rootstock (a plant with an established root system), while budding involves inserting a bud from one plant onto another plant.
2. Grafting typically results in a stronger and more stable union between the scion and rootstock, while budding is often used for plants that are more difficult to graft or for plants that have a higher success rate with budding.

1. Target plant: Grafting involves joining together two different plant species, while budding involves joining together two different varieties of the same plant species. 2. Scion: In grafting, the scion (the upper part of the plant) is joined to the rootstock (the lower part of the plant). In budding, the bud (a small piece of stem containing a growing point) is inserted into the bark of the rootstock.
