Plant Propagation and Nursery Management (1+1)

Introduction

The progress in plant improvement would have been of little significance, without methods whereby improved forms could have been maintained in cultivation. Most cultivated plants either would have lost or reverted to less desirable forms unless they are propagated under controlled conditions that perceive the unique characteristic which make them useful.
Plant propagation means multiplication of plants with the aim to achieve increase in number and preserve the essential characteristics of the mother plant. It is essentially of two types:

A. Sexual Propagation
B. Asexual Propagation
