Artificial reproduction of plants

  1. Cutting: Cutting plant branches and planting them in the ground to produce new plants is called branch grafting. There are three types of branches. Clay branch pen, water branch pen and sand branch pen. Rose, sugarcane, jojoba, patabahar, mother, jiga, sajina, orange, apple, croton, henna etc. plants can be grafted.
  2. Layering: If some parts of the branch adjacent to the soil of the plant are buried under the soil for a few weeks, the asynchronous roots will come out. New plants are then born from this part. Different types of chess pens are – simple chess pen, compound chess pen and moat chess pen. Plants such as chrysanthemum, strawberry, apple, grape, pomegranate, sapeda, jasmine, lemon etc. can be grafted.
  3. Grafting: The process of creating a new plant by joining one plant part with another plant part is called grafting. The plant part to which it is attached is called a scion. The plant to which the scion is attached is called stock. The stock is planted in a tub. Later the desired sion is attached to the stock. Stock may be low quality plants. But Sion has to be of high quality. Commonly grafted flowers and fruit trees. Plants such as cool, mango, yam, litchi, guava, chapa, magnolia etc. are grafted.
  4. Gootee: Branches of trees with strong stems are selected for Gootee pens. A few cm of bark is removed from the base of the selected branch. The area where the bark is removed is covered with soil, dung and straw and tied tightly. After a few days of regular watering, a local root emerges from that place. A new plant is formed by cutting the branch with the root and planting it in the soil. Plants such as mango, lemon, orange, rose, myrrh, garden vellum, litchi, latkon, safeda, jamrul etc. can be grafted.
  5. Budding: Budding or budding from one plant to another plant is called budding. The eyes or buds of plants with the desired yield are carefully cut with a knife and separated. Then the corresponding part of the branch of another plant of the same species is cut. The desired bud is attached to this branch. It is then sealed airtight. Within a few days the branch will bud and produce fruit of the desired quality. Eye grafting is done on fruit trees especially gorse and rose.
  6. Tissue culture: Tissue culture is a modern biotechnology. Micropropagation is the creation of numerous seedlings from very small tissues. Desired number of plants can be increased. Plant seedlings like banana, potato, bell, strawberry, stevia, chrysanthemum, lily, orchid, gladiolus, red leaf etc. are produced through tissue culture technology.
