Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Vegetative propagation is an asexual method of plant reproduction that occurs in its leaves, roots and stem. This can occur through fragmentation and regeneration of specific vegetative parts of plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Horticulturalists and gardeners also use vegetative propagation methods that plants don’t use naturally. These methods involve taking a piece of one parent plant and causing it to regenerate itself into a new plant. Common methods include cuttings, grafting and budding, and tissue culture.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most common types of artificial vegetative reproductive techniques include cutting, layering, grafting, suckering, and tissue culturing. These methods are employed by many farmers and horticulturists to produce healthier crops with more desirable qualities.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
