 Method of Plant propagation FEBRUARY 26 2021

 Students will perform the different method of plant production

 Students will make a documentation of their plant production
 Session 1: Cutting
Procedure • Select branches of one-year old healthy plants, having pencil thickness. Cut the branches into 10–15 cm
long cuttings. • Long cuttings are used to raise rootstocks for fruit trees. Each cutting must have at least 4–5 dormant
vegetative buds. Leaves and thorns, if present, are completely removed. This checks transpiration loss. • A slanting
cut is given at the base of the cuttings just below the node and a straight upper cut is given away from the top bud. •
The cut portion will help identify the planting position. Slanting cut at the base is given so that a large area of the
cuttings is in contact with the rooting medium for inducing roots. • The secretion of hormones at the bud near the cut
portion induces rooting. Straight cut at upper end reduces transpiration loss, which can be inhibited by the application
of wax. • The cuttings are planted slant-wise in a nursery bed or small poly bags for growing plants. Callus tissues
form the cambium layer and rooting takes place in this region. The best season for planting the cuttings is monsoon
for evergreen plants and November–February for deciduous plants. Cuttings can be planted in greenhouse or poly-
house for better results.

Session 2: Layering
One-year old healthy and flexible long shoot near the ground is selected. The selected stem is placed in a shallow
trench in a way that the middle portion of it is buried. Remove leaves from the branch but retain few leaves at the top.
Cover the whole branch with moist soil 5–10 cm deep. The terminal portion is left exposed to manufacture food and
hormones for the developing plants. After some weeks, shoots arise from the nodes, which are covered by soil. The
covering of the shoots with soil results in etiolation of the shoots and helps in rooting. Individual shoots with roots
(layers) are separated from the mother plant and planted in a nursery

Session 3: Grafting
Bring the selected rootstock and scion close together. • Find out the most comfortable point of contact. • At the point
of contact, a thin slice of wood along with a 2.5 to 5-cm long bark from the rootstock and the scion is removed. • The
operated size must be uniform on both the stems of the rootstock and the scion. • The cut surfaces are then brought
together so that they cover each other completely by overlapping. Press them firmly together and tie them with a
waxed string or polythene tape, so that water does not enter. • After successful union, head back the rootstock above
the union and cut the scion below the union, e.g., mango, guava, sapota, etc.

Session 4: Budding

In this method, a bark of approximately 3−6 cm wide in ring form is removed from the stock. The same dimension of
bark with a healthy bud is removed from the scion bud stick and placed on the stalk. After placing the ring in position,
tie it with a polythene strip, keeping the bud exposed.
  Plant propagation, in simple words, may be defined as multiplication or reproduction of plants. Commercialisation of crops leads to the
development of various techniques and procedures of plant propagation. Each technique has its own merits and demerits. Each plant
VIII.
DISCUSSIONS: responds differently to different methods of propagation. Various techniques of propagation have been developed with the objective to
have uniformity in crops, early bearing, increased production, resistance against pests and diseases, and introduce certain characters
in new generation. These objectives have made plant propagation interesting and challenging.
 

The teacher will evaluate the work of the students using rubrics
