Solution
- As there is no genetic variation, there is no chance of development of new and better varieties.
- If the parent plant has any diseases or pests, these can easily be transmitted to the new plants during the propagation process.
- The vegetatively propagated plants are more prone to diseases that are specific to the species. This can result in the destruction of an entire crop.
