Grafting is method in which the cut stems of two different plants (one with roots and other without roots) are joined together in such a way that the two stems join and grow a single plant. The new plant will have characteristics of both the original plants.
Artificial Propagation of Plants Plants normally reproduce through seeds, spores or reproductive growths such as rhizomes or tubers. However, artificial propagation may present a number of advantages under certain circumstances. Cutting Grafting Marcotting/ Air layering Budding Tissue culture
some plants can be artificially propagated by using their vegetative parts and this is called artificial vegetative propagation
they are: sexual propagation & asexual proagation.
This process has many advantages: The new plants produced will be exactly like the parent plants. The fruit trees grown from cutting or grafting start to bear fruit faster. Many plants can be grown from just one parent plant. We can also get seedless plants.
One disadvantage of vegetative propagation is that it can lead to a loss of genetic diversity within a population, making the plants more susceptible to diseases and environmental changes. Additionally, some methods of vegetative propagation, such as cuttings or grafting, can be labor-intensive and require specific skills and resources.
vegitative propagation is when plants reproduce asexually duuuhhh
it is the method through which clones of the plants are made by vegetative propagation
The most common are by taking cuttings and rooting them (usually with the aid of a rooting hormone), and grafting (which is more involved, and more difficult to do.) Google "plant propagation techniques" A couple of sites with good info that I've used are: http://www.rainyside.com/archives/cuttings.html http://gardening.about.com/od/gardenprimer/ss/Cuttings.htm www.plantpropagation.com
The advantages of vegetative reproduction are:-It allows them to produce new plants quickly.The plants produced by this method are exact copies of the parent plant. they have no variations.Plant propergated by this method need less attention than plants grown from seeds.New varieties of plants having required characteristics can be developed by this method.
budding:it is also a kind of grafting but here a bud is used instead of twig.a bud is transplanted on the stock plant from which the rest of the shoot is removed. grafting:in the plants transplantation of one plant to the lower part of the shoot.
Budding is a method of vegetative propagation in plants. Improved horticultural plants are propagated by this method. For example many Indian goose berry varieties are propagated by budding on the wild saplings. So is the case in standard roses.Budding is a method of vegetative propagation in plants.
