This course covers the principles and practices of propagation of plants by vegetative plant structures. It emphasizes the importance of clones/cultivars that can only be maintained by vegetative means. Students study the physiological process involved in wound-induced and healing responses occurring in root, shoot, and callus formation. They learn the commercial methods of vegetative propagation including cuttings, grafting, budding, layering, specialized structures, and micropropagation. Students have hands-on introduction to these propagation techniques as well as learn the wide range of plants that are propagated in each area. The course covers growing environments and structures for the complete production of propagated plant products.
