Question

Give four points to show the importance of vegetative propagation.

Answer 1

1. Vegetative propagation is a rapid, easy, and less expensive method for multiplying plants.
2. Enables propagation of plants with poor seed viability or prolonged dormancy.
3. Allows reproduction of plants like banana, seedless grapes, and rose that do not produce seeds.
4. Produces genetically identical plants (clones), preserving desired traits accurately.
5. Artificial methods enable propagation of economically important varieties quickly and with minimal care.
