how is the grass grown by vegetative reproduction
Answers
Year-to-year replacement of grass tillers primarily depends on the production and survival of vegetative buds on existing plants.
On semiarid rangeland, grass seed production is limited. When viable seed is produced, much of it is consumed by birds, small mammals, or invertebrates such as ants or beetles. The diversity and number of viable perennial grass seeds in the top soil of rangelands are amazingly low.
Generally, only a portion of the buds in perennial grasses break dormancy and develop into tillers in a given growing season. The remaining buds will be viable for several years if the tiller network supplies the energy needed to maintain the relatively small amount of live tissue in dormant buds.
Reduced plant growth under drought conditions or excessive grazing may reduce or eliminate formation of new buds.
1) Bunchgrasses
2) Sod-forming Grasses
Answer:
grasses are the most common examples of runners. In runners, vegetative propagation occurs through the stem The runner produce underground stems, as these grow through the soil, they produce new roots and shoots at definite intervals above the ground. These may break off from the mother plant and grow as independent plants.
