Detailed explanation-1: -Grafting. In this, the cutting from some other plant is attached to the stem of a plant rooted in the ground. The tissues of the graft become integrated with the tissues of the rooted plant and develop as a single plant over time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual propagation involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. The resulting new plant is genetically identical its parent. Asexual propagation involves the vegetative parts of a plant: stems, roots, or leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are several ways of vegetative propagation. The three main types in forest tree propagation are grafting, air-layering and the use of cuttings. The three types are referred to as macropropagation, as alternative to micropropagation or tissue culture.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are mainly two types of vegetative propagation: natural and artificial vegetative propagation.
Detailed explanation-5: -Vegetative propagation is known to be the formation and growth of a new plant by an asexual means or by a fragment of a plant. The propagation takes place without gamete formation and fertilization. Examples of vegetative propagation are the rhizome of ginger, the tuber of the potato, guava tree, etc.
