Question

Name and explain natural and artificial methods in vegetative propagation

Answer 1

NATURAL VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION
Natural vegetative propagation occurs when an axillary bud grows into a lateral shoot and develops its own roots (also known as adventitious roots). Plant structures allowing natural vegetative propagation include bulbs, rhizomes, stolons and tubers.

ARTIFICIAL VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION
Horticulturalists and gardeners also use vegetative propagation methods that plants don’t use naturally. These methods involve taking a piece of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant.

Common methods include cuttings, grafting and budding, and tissue culture.
