Question

Mention some Advantages of Vegetative Propagation

Answer 1

Advantages of Vegetative Propagation are :

1. Rapid multiplication of the plants: Vegetative propagation is a rapid, easier and cheaper method of plant propagation. Such plants also bear flowers and fruits early.
2. Genetically identical offspring: The new plants are exact copies of the parent plant.
3. Easy to grow: Plants grown vegetatively usually need less attention in early stages.
4. Multiplication without seed formation: Plants like banana, seedless grapes, rose, pineapple and Dahlia, which do not produce viable seeds, can only be grown vegetatively.
