Question

tell advantages of vegetative propagation

Answer 1

Advantages of Vegetative Propagation are :

(i) Plant which do not produce seeds, are propagated by the method e.g., sugar-cane, banana, potato, rose, orange, seedless grapes, jasmines, chrysanthemum, etc.

(ii) Vegetative propagation is a cheaper, easier and more rapid method of propagation in plants than growing plants from their seeds;

(iii) The trait (character) of a plant is preserved by vegetative reproduction.

(iv) Thus, the plants generated from vegetative means requires less time to grow and to have the advantages of being more uniform and genetically similar to the parent stock.

However, there are some disadvantages associated with this mode of reproduction. Plants grown by this method lose vigour and become prone to diseases.

Answer 2

The individuals produced through this method can bear fruits and flowers earlier... They are identical to the parent plants so genetic stability is maintained..... It is possible to grow plants which don't produce more seeds with this method... It is quicker, cheaper and easier method...
