Disclosed is not crushed stems cross-sectional elliptical shape of the stock, by holding the junction of the rootstock and the scion at the appropriate contact pressure, can be made laborsaving of grafted seedling nursery operations, especially selling I provide a grafting for holder suitable for family. The apparatus includes a cylindrical body 1 made of a soft plastic with a slit 2 to the lower part from the upper end portion on one side and the knob of the pair which is integrally connected to the tubular body 1 to open the slit 2 a 3,4, grafting holder sectional shape of the portion of the opposite side is rounded triangular shape with a slit 2 in the stem holding hole 9 of the tubular body 1. By the cross-sectional shape of the stem holding hole 9, hard stems are crushed to be held to suit the cut surface and the cut surface of the cucumber scion of pumpkin rootstock. Also when plugging the scion to the rootstock mounted above the stem holding hole 9, in order to crimp the cut surface of the rootstock and the scion, even by inserting a scion downward to strengthen little stock seedling but it is not protrude from the slit of the holder. [Selection Figure] Figure 1【課題】台木の断面楕円形状の茎が潰されず、台木と穂木との接合部を適当な圧着力で保持することにより、接ぎ木苗育苗作業の省力化を図ることのできる、特にウリ科に適した接ぎ木用ホルダーを提供する。【解決手段】一側部に上端部から下端部までのスリット2を備えた軟質プラスチックからなる筒状体1と、スリット2を開くために筒状体1に一体に連設された一対のつまみ3,4とを備え、筒状体1の内部の茎保持穴9におけるスリット2とは反対側の部分の断面形状が角丸三角形状である接ぎ木用ホルダー。この茎保持穴9の断面形状により、カボチャ台木の切断面とキュウリ穂木の切断面を合わせて保持しても茎が潰されにくい。また茎保持穴9に先に装着された台木に穂木を挿し込む時、台木と穂木の切断面を圧着させるため、少し強めに下方向へ穂木を挿し込んでも、台木苗が保持具のスリットからはみ出さない。【選択図】 図1
