Advantages and Disadvantages of Vegetative Propagation

 

Advantages:

 

1. i) Young plant uses the food resources from parent plant during development.

 

1. ii) Only one parent plant is involved.

 

iii) Good and desired characters are transmitted to offspring.

 

1. iv) The new plant matures more quickly.

 

1. v) A large number of desired varieties of plant are produced in very short time.

 

Disadvantages:

 

1. i) No new varieties are produced.

 

1. ii) Over crowding causes severe competition for survival among them.

 

iii) Lack of variety, reduce resistance against diseases and environment.

 

1. iv) Colonization is unlikely. Thus plants are not widely distributed.

 

According to the teachers, the “first flight” went well. After a couple of months of using e-books, many students began to show a greater interest in reading, and those who previously liked to read were able to access a decent number of new books. For all the time, only 2 readers were out of order, but they have already been replaced. And this is not an isolated case. Edwards-Knox Central School, NY, will be teaching English this year using Amazon Kindle e-books. And the decision to buy readers came very simple. The new English program had such a large list of literature that it would have cost tens of thousands of dollars to purchase it.
