- Discuss the importance of vegetative propagation in agriculture.
Importance of vegetative reproduction is as follows:
1) Vegetative propagation by cuttings; grafting, budding, layering, can produce a new plants.
2) With the help of vegetative propagation can raise crops like bananas, sugarcane, potato, etc that do not produce viable seeds.
3) Vegetative propagation is easier and faster than seed method.
4) Genetically identical offspring's can be produced through vegetative propagation, which helps in preservation of traits.
