Vegetative reproduction is very useful to plant growers because of the following reasons:-
1.It allows them to produce new plants quickly.Using plant parts takes less time than waiting for seeds to grow.For example, fruit plants grown by this method start bearing fruits much earlier than plants grown from seeds.
2.The plants produced by this method are exact copies of the parent plant . They have no variations.This is also an advantage for plant growers as they can produce exact copies of aplant with the required characteristics, such as resistance to disease.All plants produced will have the same characteristics.
3.Plants propagated vegetatively usually need less attention than plants grown from seeds, in the early stages of growth.
4.New varieties of plants having required characteristics can be developed by this method.
Many food, fruits and ornamental plants, such as bananas, pineapple, rose, sugarcane, etc., are normally grown by vegetative reproduction. Some plants do not produce seeds.They can only be propagated vegetatively, e.g. bananas and pineapples.
There are also many disadvantages for vegetative propagation.

The main advantage of vegetative propagation methods is that the new plants contain the genetic material of only one parent, so they are essentially clones of the parent plant. This means that, once you have a plant with desirable traits, you can reproduce the same traits indefinitely, as long as the growing conditions remain similar. This is especially important for commercial growers who want to reproduce the highest-quality plants and ensure consistency of a variety of plant or crop for sale. This can also help to maintain consistent quality and taste in products made from plants or crops. For example, in Zealong’s tea plantation, they propagate new tea plants using cuttings to ensure consistency in the taste and quality of their tea.
With vegetative propagation, plants also bypass the immature seedling phase and therefore reach the mature phase sooner. This can save a lot of time and money for commercial plant production. For example, it takes 3–4 years for a tea plant to grow big enough (from a cutting) to be ready for harvesting and processing into tea. Growing from seed would take even longer.
