vegetative propagation occur naturally in several ways 1.Bulbs are short underground stems surrounded by thick fleshy leaves that contain stored food adventitious roots emerge under the base of bulbs while shoot emerge from the top of the base tulips , onion and lilies reproduce by bulbs 2.Corms are short and swollen underground stems contains stored food buds are presented at the of chrome from a bud shoot grows and from a new plant Sheena and garlic reproduced by corms 3.Rhizomes are horizontal
underground stem with scale leave there are enlarged portions called nodes on rhizome buds are produce at nods the buds present on the upper surface of rhizome given rise to shoot the lower surface of rhizome produces adventitious root
4.Stem Tubers are the emerged portions of an underground stem (rhizome) there are aggregations of tine buds in the for of eyes along the surface of tuber each bud develop into shoot that growths upward and also produce roots potatoes and yams reproduce by tuber 5.Suckers are lateral stem close to ground level a sucker grows underground from some distance and the turn up producing the new plant mint and chrysanthemum reproduce in this way 6.Vegetative propagation by leaves is not conman and is see in plant has fleshy leaves and ventilation buds are present at the margins of lives when leaf falls on ground the buds grow into new plant Artificial Vegetative Propagation gardeners and farmers use artificial method of vegetative propagation to increase the stock of a plant the following two are the most common method of artificial vegetative propagation 1.Cutting in this method cutting may be taken mainly from the stems of root of parent plant these cutting must have a materialistic region from which growth can occur when citing are placed in a suitable soil and under right conditions (sufficient nutrients water and sun light)they form roots and shoots root and shoot grow develop in to a plant incidental to the parent plant from which the cutting were taken .roses ,ivy and grapevines are propagated by stem cutting sweet potato is an enlarged root farmers place it in moist sand or soil until it produce several planets than the planets are removed and planted this process is used to produce many plants from a single plant all new plants are exactly the same this artificial vegetative propagation has been very beneficial on sugar cane plantation 2.Grafting in grafting a piece stem is cut from the plant and is attached with another plant with established root system after a while the vascular bundles of the attached stem piece and the host plant are connected to each other the stem pieces and the plant begin to growth together this method is used to propagate many roses ,peach,trees ,plum tree and various seedless fruits thanks for visiting our site
