 ABSTRACT

Horticulture crops are propagated mainly by two methods viz. sexual (seed) and asexual (vegetative). The plants produced through former method do not produce seedlings true-to-type wherein, identical characters (true-to-type) are inherited from mother plant through asexual method of propagation. Grafting is one of the important methods of asexual propagation methods. The plants produced through grafting yields at same time (uniformly) along with quality fruit. Seedling plants having long juvenile period and gigantic growth habit are considered uneconomical concerns w.r.t. plant protection measures, crop management, harvesting etc. Seed propagation and grafting method of asexual propagation with its type is reviewed and presented.

Keywords: Propagation, Grafting, Types of grafting, Seed propagation.
