Pls find the answer below:

♦ Advantages of Artificial propagation:

1. The new plants produced by artificial vegetative propagation will be exactly like the parent plants. Any desirable features of the parent plant will be replicated in the new plants.

2. The fruit trees grown from seeds may take many years before they start to bear fruit. But the fruit trees grown from cuttings or by grafting start to bear fruits much earlier (only after a few growing seasons).

3. The plants grown by vegetative propagation usually need less attention in their early years than the plants grown from seeds.

4. Many plants can be grown from just one parent plant by artificial propagation.  

5. We can also get seedless plants by artificial propagation.

♦ Advantages  of Tissue culture:

1) Tissue culture helps us to produce more copies of same plant with desired characters like big fruits, more fruits, colourful flowers, disease resistance etc.

2) Tissue culture helps us to produce plants which do not depend on seasonal changes of that area for particular yield.

3) As seedlings are made available, planting is possible all through the year.

4) All the plants developed by tissue culture are uniform at size, shape and their yield. They are exact clones which resemble each other.

5) Time taken to obtain mature crop is very less.
