Examples include layering, grafting, budding, cuttings, division, tuberization, bulb formation, rhizome formation, runners, offsets, suckers, and corms.
It allows for rapid multiplication of desirable traits without the need to wait for seed production or germination.
Vegetative propagation is the process by which new plants are produced from vegetative parts (leaves, stems, roots) rather than seeds.
Vegetative propagation is the process by which new plants are produced from vegetative parts (leaves or stems) instead of seeds.
Cutting - It involves taking a piece of stem or root from a parent plant and allowing it to develop roots and shoots into a new plant.
Layering involves bending a stem downward until it touches the soil surface, where it develops into a new plant while still attached to the parent plant.
Budding - Similar to grafting but only a single bud is used as the scion.
Grafting - In this technique, a small part of one plant called scion is joined onto another plant called stock using a special adhesive material.
Grafting involves joining two different types of plants together so that they can grow as one.
Budding involves removing a small part of a branch with a bud on it and attaching it to another plant, causing it to form roots and become a new plant.
Tissue culture - This method involves growing cells or tissues under sterile conditions on nutrient-rich media to produce large numbers of identical plants.
