HORTICULTURE
· Grafting is not successful in
monocots compared to dicots due to Absence of cambium for secondary
growth.
Objective of vegetative propagation:
·
Multiplication of an elite variety
·
Production of ‘true to the type’
plants
·
Cost effective multiplication of
plants
In pruning care should be taken to avoid
·
Cutting at internodes
·
Cutting in dry season
·
Cutting in flowering season
Terrarium: A miniature
garden grown in glass vessels, bottles and dishes
·
Bonsai Culture: Tap root pruning - Wiring- Aging
·
The methodology of propagation methods
of selected horticultural species by specialized pegging a branch in soil
is known as Layering.
·
Commonly practiced artificial
vegetative propagation in rubber –
budding.
·
The method of vegetative propagation
in which the scion is separated from the mother plant only after the
establishment of the graft union:
Approach grafting
· Puddling is carried in horticulture to: Reduce percolation of water , Pulverise and levelling soil and Kill weeds.
·
air layering,
cutting the bark off the stem, known as girdling is performed for Stimulating root formation just
above the point of girdling , Helping in breaking off the stem when it is
rooted , Gradually starving the stem.
