Vegetative propogation (Practice paper Dec 18)

Explanation

1 Vegtative propagatoin is a cheap and easy method of propagation plants like pineapple banana grapes etc which do not produce viable seeds under natural conditon are propagated by this method
2 Plants propagated by vegatative propagation are genetically similar to each other thus improved varieties of plants can be maintained for several genergation without losing disireable characteristics
3 vegetative propagation plays an important role in the producton of clones of rae and economically useful plants
4 Plants that show long dormancy period can be multipled rapidly by vegatites on the stocks of varieties that have low yield but are better adapter to a paritcular region
5 The yield of plants can be increased considerably by grafting high yilding varieties on the stocks of varieties that low yield but are better adapted to a particlular region
