In layering a ring of bark is removed from the young branch which bent upwards true or false if false then correct the false statement
Dear student,
Please find below the answer:
The given statement is false. A ring of bark is removed from the stem before it is bent down, in the layering method of artificial proportion.
In plants, under the bark are the tissues like phloem, xylem, and cambium. In the plants that are propagated by layering, a ring of bark is removed to remove phloem and cambium from that portion while the xylem is kept intact. This is done to prevent the flow of food from leaves of that bent branch to the trunk of the tree, instead, food stops after reaching the cut site and helps the cell there to grow faster. The xylem is kept intact so that the bent branch can absorb water and minerals from the soil to prevent the drying of leaves.
Hope this information clears your doubt.
Regards.
