vegetative propagation

vegetative propagation, the ability of plants to reproduce without sexual reproduction, by producing new plants from existing vegetative structures.


Such plants can form enormous colonies of new plants within a relatively few years.


It is faster. For example, bacteria can multiply every 20 minutes. This helps the organisms to increase in number at a rapid rate that balances the loss in number due to various causes.
Many plants are able to tide over unfavourable conditions. This is because of the presence of organs of asexual reproduction like the tubers, corm, bulbs, etc.
Vegetative propagation is especially beneficial to the agriculturists and horticulturists. They can raise crops like bananas, sugarcane, potato, etc that do not produce viable seeds. The seedless varieties of fruits are also a result of vegetative propagation.
The modern technique of tissue culture can be used to grow virus-free plants.

Trees are generally, low, thus labor cost and time in the maintenance and harvesting are economical.
