Open in App
Solution

The disadvantages of vegetative plant production are as follows:
1. The plants gradually lose their vigor as there is no genetic variation.
2. They are more prone to diseases that are specific to the species which can result in the destruction of the entire crop.
3. Since many plants are produced, it results in overcrowding and lack of nutrients.
