Introduction

Nursery is consequently the basic need of horticulture. Plant propagation techniques

and practices is the core of horticulture nurseries. The planting materials for horticultural
plantations are raised from seeds and vegetative parts. Role of Mother Plants is very primary
and important. The fate of nursery depends on quality and truthfulness of mother plants. A
good nursery entrepreneur does not depend on others for procurement of mother plants.
Mother plants are required for both stock and scion. Mother plants should be selected on the
basis of its genetic traits and other factors like availability and adaptation in the growing
environment.
