Modern Propagation Techniques

Propagation

Plant propagation is the art and science of increasing numbers of plants utilizing both sexual and asexual methods. It is not an exaggeration to say that the continued existence of modern civilization depends upon plant propagation.


T













Micropropagation /Tissue Culture:
This method is practiced to multiply a stock plant at a rapid rate, to produce a large number of progeny plants using the modern plant culture methods.


Hydroponic Culture








Hydroponic Culture











Hydroponics:
Hydroponics is a subset of hydro culture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as per lite, gravel, mineral wool, expanded clay or coconut husk. Extensive testing over a period of years has documented the superiority of per lite over other methods of hydroponic culture. For example,tomato crops hydroponically grown in per lite have produced yields 7% higher than crops grown in rock wool. In addition to significantly increased yields, per lite culture is particularly easy to manage and offers additional benefits.
