Advantages of vegetative propagation:

1. Vegetative propagation is an easy, rapid, and less expensive method of production of new plants.
2. By the process of vegetative reproduction, the plants produced are identical to the parent plants and hence have the same quality.
3. It is highly useful for the production of plants like pineapple, banana, etc which do not produce proper seeds.
