How can improved varieties of crops be obtained in vegetative propagation
  • 1 answers

1. The main advantage of vegetative propagation is that the progeny plants contain the genetic material of only one parent.

For example, if we have a plant of desirable traits, the same plant can be reproduced by vegetative propagation if the growing propagation remains similar.

2. Vegetative propagation can ensure the consistency of a plant variety or crop variety for sale.

3. This process also helps to maintain consistent quality and taste of the products made from the plants or crops.

For example, some tea plants like the Zealong's tea plantations, the new tea plants are made from the cutting using the older plants to ensure uniform consistency in the taste and quality of the tea.

4. Vegetative propagation can save a lot of time and money for production of plants on a commercial scale.
