Why is vegetative propagation practiced for growing some types of plants class 10?
Answers
There are many plants in which parts like the root the stem and leaves develop into new plants in appropriate conditions hence in such plants vegetative propagation can be used for reproducing the entire plant plants raised by vegetative propagation can bear flowers and fruits earlier than they produce from seeds such methods also make vegetative propagation of plants such as Bananas orange rose that have lost the capacity to produce seeds another advantages that all plants produce are genetically similar enough to a parent plant
Explanation:
Vegetative propagation is practiced for growing some types of plants because of following advantages:
→ It is used to grow a plant in which viable seeds are not formed or very few seeds are produced such as Orange, Banana, Pineapple.
→ It helps to introduce plants in new areas where the seed germination fails to produce mature plant due to change in environmental factors and the soil.→ It is more rapid, easier and cheaper method.
→ By this method a good quality of a race or variety can be preserved.
