Seed and vegetative propagation are the most widely practiced methods of plant increase, the conventional methods of propagation have been refined recent decades, with cloning and genetic engineering being the latest techniques as a result of tissue culture. # This book has been written with the aim of introducing readers to what entails plant propagation in horticulture. Not only does it give space to discussing the principles, processes and practices involved in propagation techniques but also brings within its purview the emerging trends and developments within the field, expecially as the methodology of propagation is continually evolving. Further, it charts out the progress of this field along with the inclusion of criticial perspectives on it, thus fostering a better comprehension of the subject.; Most plants reproduce more of their kind through production of seeds. This is sexual reproduction and it involves the exchange of genetic material between two parent plants. Many ornamental plants do not come "true" from seed. To increase the numbers of these plants, gardeners and horticulturists use asexual propagation. In asexual propagation, the new plants are generically exact copies or clones of a single parent plant. The methods used in asexual propagation range from taking leaf cuttings of african violets to grafting apple cuttings onto root stocks.
