The procedure of legume grafting as well as the viability of soybean on bush bean grafts was tested. A cleft graft was used in each experiment with the variables being clipped leaves, shade, and aloe vera. Clipping leaves and applying shade was most effective in plant survival. Soybeans grafted to bush beans have yet to survive beyond the first three days after grafting.text!
