A Caution Against Possible Sterility Due to Vegetative Propagation in Horticultural and other Crops

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.
