Vegetative propagation or asexual propagation is the method of reproducing plants with the use of organs other than the seed and spore. The word 'vegetative' refers to plant organs with the exception of the reproductive parts. In conventional propagation without the employment of tissue culture 6 Propagation Method Distinctions Asexual (cont) Used with heterozygous plants Piece of vegetative tissue Suitable environment "missing parts" develop Whole plant genetically identical to original Flower not involved in asexual propagation. 7 Asexual Propagation Facts No genetic change (barring Artificial vegetative propagation is usually used for the propagation (or reproduction) of those plants which produce either very few seeds or do not produce viable seeds. Some examples of such plants which are reproduced by artificial vegetative propagation methods are: Banana, Pineapple, Orange Ways to Propagate Plants. Plant reproduction is the production of new individuals or offspring in plants which can be accomplished by sexual or Growing plants through vegetative propagation takes shorter period of time to grow new plants. Click on each plant to find out how vegetative parts Plant propagation is the process of creating new plants. There are two types of propagation: sexual and asexual. Plant Propagation.

INTRODUCTION • Artificial vegetative propagation is the deliberate production of new plants from parts of old plants by humans. A stem cutting from another healthy plant named the scion is placed over the stock. • The stock and scion are tied together and the stock provides the scion with water and Conventional propagation is by cuttings, generally focused on a period prior to the most intensive time of sales. Rapid multiplication of elite clones, the production of pathogen-free plants and more rapid introduction of novel cultivars (cvs.) with desirable traits, represent important driving forces in the Plant propagation is the process which grows new plants from a variety of sources: seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts. Plant propagation can also refer to the man-made or natural dispersal of seeds. Seeds and spores can be used for reproduction (through e.g. sowing). Plant Propagation from Cuttings produces new plants identical to stock plants. Rooting Hormones are essential to develop roots on cuttings. This Guide describes five successful foliar and basal propagation methods: Five methods of plant propagation from cuttings:. Dry Dip, Basal Quick Dip How to make new plants How do plants grow? Photosynthesis Occurs in green tissues 0 Requires light 0 Produces food 0 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O -> C 6 H Seed propagation Cheapest way to produce many new plants • Lots of genetic variability • Best for palms, grasses • Seeds must be collected when fully Propagation, in horticulture, the reproduction of plants by any number of natural or artificial means. With crops that produce seed freely and come true closely The only justification for the generalization that asexually propagated plants lack hardiness or sturdiness is the fact that virus diseases can be Cutting Propagation in Jojoba.
