SEED PROPAGATION

Seed propagation is a sexual reproduction technique. In this approach, seeds are formed by fertilization between the gametes of parents. The pollen nuclei fuse with the egg of the ovary to form the zygote. Then, the formed zygote further divides and develops into an embryo.

How to take care of seedling propagation?

1. To create the cultivar, use seeds with the appropriate genetic characteristics. Desired species or provenance This can be achieved by acquiring seeds from a trustworthy dealer, purchasing credentialed seeds, or—if producing one’s own—in accordance with seed selection principles.
2. Making use of high-quality seeds. Seeds should germinate quickly in order to withstand potentially detrimental circumstances in the seed bed and yield a good return.
3. Controlling seed maturation. This is achieved through the use of pre-germination remedies or seeding at the proper time.
4. Providing a suitable environment for the seedlings and causing seedlings, along with enough water supply, the right temperature, and adequate oxygen, as well as either lamp or shadows until the plants and arising plants are well defined.

  

TYPES OF PROPAGATIONS

Plant propagation can be divided into four basic types: sexual, asexual (vegetative), layering, and grafting. Countless plants are propagated each day in horticulture and agriculture. The materials commonly used for plant propagation are seeds and cuttings.

CUTTING :

Cutting a portion of a leaf, stem, or root off the parent plant then replanting and therefore the plant begins to grow. This is the most common and widely used form of vegetative propagation.

LAYERING :

Simple layering is one of the easiest methods of propagating new plants. Unlike cuttings, which have to survive on their own, layered shoots are encouraged to form roots while still attached to the parent plant. Layering is a technique to propagate plants.

BUDDING OR BUD GRAFTING :

Budding, or bud grafting, is a form of vegetative or clonal plant propagation by which an exact replica of the parent plant is produced. There are two slightly different methods of budding – chip budding and T budding. The difference between the two is procedure timing and the amount of wood taken with the bud.
