Give three advantages of vegetative propagation.
plz plz plz it's important.
Answers
●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 can also help to maintain consistent quality and taste in products made from plants or crops.
●The plants that cannot produce viable seeds such as banana, seedless grapes and oranges, etc, can be easily grown by vegetative propagation.
●It is an easier, less expensive and a rapid method of propagation
Advantages of vegetative propagation :-
- Replication of desirable characteristics :
Plants propagated by vegetative means are exact replicas of the parent plant.Therefore,we can choose a parent planet with desirable features like the quality of its fruit or flowers,and multiply it in large number.
- Early fruit bearing :
Fruit trees grown by cutting or by grafting start to bear fruit much faster,within only a few growing seasons. On the other hand, fruit growing trees grown from seeds take many years to bear fruit.
- Lower maintenance :
Vegetative propagation reduce the effort required in growing plant as it simply by passes the seed sowing stage. Also,plants propagate more easily by vegetative means by the seeds.
