Posted on April 8, 2026 By B&D

Vegetative propagation results in plants that react in the same way when exposed to pests, infections, or environmental conditions. It produces plants from a single genetic source where identical traits cause uniform susceptibility or response when pests attack or diseases develop across the field. It maintains the same physiological behavior where all plants respond similarly to temperature, moisture changes, or stress conditions without variation in resistance levels.
