Advantages of vegetative propagation, * The desirable characters (traits) of the plants can be preserved through, generations by vegetative reproduction., * Seedless plants like rose, sugarcane, banana, grapes, jasmine, etc can be, grown through vegetative propagation., , * Through cutting and grafting methods flowers and fruits can be grown, in a shorter time as compared to the plants grown from seeds., , * It is a cheaper, easier and more rapid method of plant propagation., , * The plants, which do not produce viable seeds or produce very few, seeds, can be reproduced by this method, for example, banana, potato,, grapes, sugarcane, rose, orange, etc., , * Plants raised through vegetative propagation from a single parent are, genetically identical., , Limitations of vegetative propagation, , There are some limitations of vegetative propagation. Some of these are:, * Plants produced by this technique possess less vigour., % They are more prone to diseases., * They show no genetic variations.
