Vegetative propagation is a mode of asexual reproduction in which reproduction takes place through the vegetative parts of the plant such as stem, roots, leaves, etc.

Advantages

1. Plants raised by vegetative propagation can bear flowers and fruits earlier than those produced by seeds.

2. It makes possible the propagation of plants such as banana, orange, rose and jasmine, that have lost the capacity to produce seeds.

3. Genetically similarity is maintained in the plants.

Disadvantages

1. Since progeny is exactly identical to the parent, there is very less or no chance or variation. Thus, chances of survival in a changing environment is less.

2. Diseases or any mutation in the parent will also be passed on to the progeny.

3. Since a large number of plants can be produced, overcrowding may occur. This leads to competition for sunlight, water, air, etc.

Answer:

Vegetative propagation is an asexual method refers to the process of plant reproduction whereby a fragment of a parent plant is taken in order to produce more plants.

Advantages of vegetative propagation:

  1. The process makes possible the production of seedless varieties such as banana, orange, rose, jasmine etc.
  2. It helps in the preservation of useful parent characters in the next generation.

Disadvantages of Vegetative Propagation:

  1. Due to overcrowding of large number of plants near the parent plants, there is severe competition between the members of the same species. Thus many plants become weak and stunted.
  2. There may be degeneration of species due to lack of sexual stimulus.
