Plant Propagation
What are the two methods of Propagation?
Sexual Propagation and Asexual Propagation
What are the two kinds of Asexual Propagation?
Natural or Vegetative and Artificial Propagation
It is the process of multiplying plants by means of growing parts of the plant, like the roots, stems, and leaves, to increase the number of plants of the same kind.
Natural or Vegetative Propagation
This employs several methods, such as: Cuttage, Marcotting, and Grafting.
Artificial Propagation
The process of reproducing and multiplying plants using seeds and spores.
In cleft grafting, the stock about the size of a pencil is cut off squarely and split, then inserted into a _____-______ scion
Wedge-shaped
It is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together.
Grafting
This is a method of propagating plants in which the scion is made to unite with the rootstock while they are growing independently on their own systems (roots).
Inarching
In marcotting, after scraping the cambium layer, what moss are you going to wrap the cut surface?
Sphagnum Moss
In this method of propagation, the plants are obtained from a vegetative portion of the mother plant instead of seeds.
Asexual Propagation
These are commonly used in propagating annuals and perennials plants.
Stem Cuttings
These are thickened portions of either the leaf or the stem.
Tuber Cuttings
The nurserymen use this one extensively in their fruit trees, more than any other methods of propagation
Budding
It is the process of propagating plants from its several parts.
Cuttage
Grafting may be classified into cleft, side, whip or tongue, saddle, bark and _____ ________.
Crown Grafting
One of the simplest and most popular forms of grafting.
Cleft Grafting
What are the most common methods of budding operations used by the nurserymen?
Shield Patch and T-Budding
Many plants can be multiplied with ease by means of short cuttings of the roots.
Roots and Rootstock Cuttings
It is also known as Air Layering is the process of inducing a branch or a stem to root while still attached to the mother plant.
Marcotting
Proper wrapping of the bud parts should be done and should be protected from _____ and other impurities.
Water
This method of grafting is used for plants too small to be cleft grafted.
Whip or Tongue Grafting
