What is Vegetative Propagation?

Vegetative propagation refers to a form of asexual reproduction. When a new plant is produced from any of the vegetative propagules, the plant is said to be vegetatively propagated. In many plants, the roots, stems, leaves develop into new plants under appropriate conditions.

What are its Advantages?

• It helps to produce clones of the parent plant. (genetically similar)
• It's a Cheaper, faster and easier method.
• It's the only way to propagate plants that have lost their ability to produce viable seeds.
• Plants raised by vegetative propagation can bear fruits and flowers earlier than the plants produced by seeds.
• A large number of offsprings can be produced in a short period.

What are their Disadvantages?

• All the propagated plants are genetically the same, i.e, clones of the parents, it places a barrier on genetic variation, leading to no new variations.
• As a large number of plants are produced, they fight among themselves for nutrition, some plants end up weak, some perish, and few survive
