Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Disadvantages of Micropropagation
A
expensive and time consuming
B
expensive
C
time consuming
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Micropropagation requires trained manpower, sophisticated facilities, and expensive materials which make it a pricey technique. Contamination is the major problem of micropropagation. Some forms of cultures have the problem of pronounced genetic variability. More items •05-Jan-2021

Detailed explanation-2: -analysis According to the cost calculation of the standard micropropagation protocol, where plants were produced through in-vitro shoot multiplication followed by in-vitro rooting and acclimatization as described by Gunasekare and Evens, (2000), the cost of production per plant was around Rs. 39.00.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tissue Culture can require more labor and cost more money. There is a chance that the propagated plants will be less resilient to diseases due to the type of environment they are grown in.

Detailed explanation-4: -Disadvantages. Micropropagation may appear to be the perfect means of multiplying plants, but it has associated problems: It is very expensive, and can have a labour cost of more than 70% An infected plant sample can produce infected progeny.
