Abstract


Vegetative propagation is being adopted at present in many of horticultural and other crops. The primary object in adopting such vegetative methods, is to secure a homogeneous plant material of the parent. In the case of dioecious crops where fruits and seeds are required, it is particularly useful, as otherwise there is a chance of all the seed-raised plants turning out to be male plants that are of no use.
