Advantages and Disadvantages of Vegetative propagation of Plants:
Plants can reproduce asexually via vegetative propagation. This method of reproduction has some advantages and disadvantages as well.
Advantages
The off springs produced through vegetative propagation are genetically identical. Therefore beneficial characteristics can be preserved. In vegetative propagation, there is no need of any mechanism of pollination. It helps to increase number of plants at a rapid rate. The organs of vegetative propagation enable many plants to pass over unfavourable many conditions. Plants bearing seedless fruits can be grown only by vegetative propagation.
Disadvantages
The plants do not have genetic variations. Species specific diseases can attack and this can result in the destruction of an entire crop.
