Question

what are the advantages of artificial vegetative proportion

Answer 1

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.
