Artificial Vegetative Propagation

Cuttings
In this method, cutting may be taken mainly from the stems or roots of parent plant.
These cuttings must have a meristematic region from which growth can occur. When cuttings are placed in a suitable soil and under right condition, they form roots and shoots. Roots and shoots grow and develop into a plant identical to the parent plant from which the cuttings were taken. Roses, ivy and grapevines are propagated by stem cuttings. Sweet potato in an enlarged root. Farmers place it in moist sand or soil until it produces several plantlets. Then the plantlets are removed and plants.
This process is used to produce many plants from a single plant. All new plants are exactly the same. This artificial vegetative propagation has been very beneficial on sugar cane plantation.

Grafting

In Grafting, a piece of stem is cut from the plant and is attached with another plant with established root system. After a while, the vascular bundles of the attached atmen piece and the host plant are connected to each other. The stem piece and the plant begin to grow together. This method is used to propagate many roses, peach trees, plum trees and various seedless fruits.
