Vegetative propagation is a method of plant reproduction in which a new individual is formed from parts of the parent organism. For agronomists and owners of home gardens, this method is the primary tool for preserving unique cultivar traits and obtaining high-quality nursery plants in a short time. Understanding the biological principles of this process allows for the effective scaling of a crop, ensuring high survival rates of nursery plants and their compliance with the stated characteristics of the parent plant.
This collection contains systematized information on the main methods of vegetative propagation adapted for various groups of crops. The articles examine in detail the natural mechanisms of forming specialized organs, as well as modern technologies of artificial propagation, including the preparation of hardwood cuttings. The reader will find practical recommendations for working with fruit, berry, and ornamental plants, which will help optimize the work of propagating crops in the garden and ensure a stable supply of healthy nursery plants for your needs.
