 WHAT IS IT

Let us define:
 Plant propagation -is the process that grows new plants from a variety of sources:
seeds, cuttings, and other plant parts. Plant propagation can also refer to the man-
made or natural dispersal of seed
 Planting - the placing of propagating materials like seeds or vegetative parts of the
plants, on the soil or at the bottom of the furrows, and covering them subsequently with
soil.
 Plant Density - the number of plants per square area.
 Sexual propagation -involves the union of the pollen (male) with the egg (female) to
produce seed. The seed is made up of three parts: the outer seed coat, which protects
the seed; the endosperm, which is a food reserve; and the embryo, which is the
young plant
 Asexual propagation -involves taking a part of one parent plant and causing it to
regenerate itself into a new plant. The resulting new plant is genetically identical its
parent. Asexual propagation involves the vegetative parts of a plant: stems, roots, or
leaves.

Plant Propagation:

Parts of Plants Directly Planted in the Ground

A. Sexual Propagation-Planting By Means Of Seeds To The Ground

1. Seeds
Direct Planting/Sowing
Generally, large seeds are planted directly in the ground or garden plots, or the field.
Some vegetable crops do not need special care and are planted directly in the ground.
Some of these plants are:

 legumes like mongo, beans, cowpeas

 vegetable fruit crops like okra, squash, upo, patola,
root crops, radish, and carrots

B. Natural Asexual propagation

This process is also called vegetative propagation. Stem cuttings, root cuttings, leaf
cuttings, root division, layering, grafting, and budding are all vegetative methods of
propagation.

1. by means of Cuttings

Disclaimer: The contents above are borrowed from the online sources. Department of Education does not claim or own the presented contents.
Links for the sources are found in the reference part of the module.

4
Cuttings are pieces of stems placed under suitable conditions which will produce new plants.

Cuttings of three kinds:

1. Soft cuttings 2. Semi-hardwood cuttings 3. Hardwood cuttings
Points to consider in selecting cuttings:
 The cuttings should be taken from sturdy plants.
 They should come from productive plants planted in productive land.
 They should be free from diseases and insect pests.
 They should be stocky and uniform in size.

Kinds of Cuttings:

a. Root Cuttings - Root Cuttings: Some plants like Breadfruit, rimas, White
Poinsettia, and some Jasmines and Ixora can be propagated with root
cuttings. Roots of such plants if cut at the plant end and the cut tip of the root
if exposed to air will start growing into a new plant.

b. Stem-Cutting- is another common asexual propagation technique, suited

well to herbs and house plants. It involves taking a section of stem from a
parent plant and manipulating it to create a new plant. It involves taking a
section of stem from a parent plant and manipulating it to create a new plant.

c. Node cuttings- are obtained from a section of a shoot with a leaf blade,
petiole, and a piece of the stem with the attached axillary bud.

d.Leaf Cuttings- In leaf cuttings, the leaf blade (or the leaf blade and
petiole) is utilized in starting new plants. Adventitious buds, shoots, and roots
form at the base of the leaf and develop into new plants. Only a limited
number of specialized species can form new plants from leaf cuttings

2. Underground runners

The underground section of the plant is used for planting materials. The
runners or suckers are clipped off from the parent plants and then planted to
the field before they get dry. They are usually set in ridges and rows. Examples
of these crops are arrowroots, ginger, taro, and Gabi.

3. Bulb -the bulb portion of the plant is used as planting material.

An example is garlic.

5
 4.Root And Tuber
Root and tuber crops (Crop Groups 1 and 2) consist of root crops, such
as beets and carrots, and tuber crops, such as potatoes and sweet
potatoes, and the leaves of root crops, such as beet tops two or three alive
buds or “eyes.

5. Corn
Corn does not have visible storage rings when cut in half. This
distinguishes it from a true bulb. The corm contains a basal plate (bottom
of bulb from which roots develop), thin tunic, and a growing point.
Examples of plants that develop from corms include gladiolus, crocus,
and autumn crocus

6. Rhizomes
Plants that have rhizomes include poplars, bamboos, ginger, turmeric,
lotus, and many types of ferns. Irises are also part of the rhizome family.
Some of these rhizomes are edible and sought out as a delicacy.

7. Offset

This is particularly common in species that develop underground storage

organs, such as bulbs, corms, and tubers. Tulips and lilies
are examples of plants that display offset characteristics by forming
cormlets around the original mother corm. It is a means
of plant propagation

Methods of Direct Planting

1. By Machine- most commercial gardeners plant seeds with

machine planters or seed drillers and the likes. Machines do the
work much better and more rapidly than by hand sowing. The
common seed drillers open the furrow, drop the seeds, cover
them, and pack the soil at one operation. These drillers can be
regulated to sow at various rates and the depth desired.

2. Hand Sowing – sowing seeds by hand is commonly practiced in

home gardens and is not too wide field. The seeds should be
distributed uniformly in the furrow and covered immediately to
prevent loss of moisture and to bring the seed into close contact
with the soil.

ASEXUAL PROPAGATION

Methods of Asexual Propagation

 Marcotting- which is a type of vegetative plant propagation, is commonly known
as air layering that involves rooting of a part of the stem while it is still attached
to the parent plant

 Layering - is a method of plant propagation in which the stem is induced to

roots while still attached to the parent plant
 Air Layering
 Ground Layering
 Simple layering
 Tip layering
 Serpentine layering

 Grafting - the general term used for propagation methods whereby two plant
parts are joined in such a manner that they will unite and continue their growth
as one plant
 Cleft Grafting
 Side Grafting
 Splice Grafting
 Bark Grafting

 Budding - A method of asexual propagation in which the scion is a single bud with
a small section of the bark, with or without wood.
 Shield Budding
 Patch Budding
 Chip Budding

 Inarching - also called as Approach Grafting, is a method of propagating plants in

which the scion is made to unite with rootstock while they are growing
independently on their root system.

The methods of planting seeds by hand are:

1. Hill Planting. This is commonly done by having 3 to 4 seeds per hill.

2. Broadcast Method. This means scattering seeds uniformly by hand all over a well-
prepared field and then covering the seeds with soil through the help of light implement
or plank.

Advantages of broadcasting over the other methods

 It is a quicker and cheaper method as far as the cost of labor in planting is
concerned.
 Implements are not required for sowing.
 Skilled labor is not required for sowing.
 It can be done in a moist condition.
Disclaimer: The contents above are borrowed from the online sources. Department of Education does not claim or own the presented contents.
Links for the sources are found in the reference part of the module.

7
Disadvantages:
 It requires more seed per unit area.
 The seeds fall at different depths resulting in uneven and guppy plant stand as
shallow-sown seed may not germinate due to adverse moisture conditions and
germination of deep sown seed may have adverse effects due to depth.
 Inter culture operation is difficult as spacing is not maintained.
 Uneven distribution of seed and hence crop growth resulting in excess competition
in a certain area and no competition in some areas.
 Loss of seeds by birds and insects if it is not properly covered with soil.

3. Drill /Line/Furrow Sowing- Sowing of seeds in a line on a large scale is generally done
with the help of sowing implements such as seed drill or fermium seed drill called drilling.
Drilling seeds is done continuously in rows or in lines/furrows at regular intervals. This
method is adopted for pure cropping or intercropping. In addition to this, a ferti-seed drill
is also used, where fertilizer and seeds are sown simultaneously at the desired depth
of soil.

Advantages of drill or line/furrow sowing

 Seed placement is done at proper and uniform depth resulting in uniform
germination.
 The seed rate requires less as compared to the broadcast method.
 It avoids overcrowding of seedling and maintains uniform spacing between two
rows.
 Cultivation is carried out easily.
 Sowing depth can be adjusted to place the seed in a moist zone.

Disadvantages:
 Requires seed drill for sowing hence it is costly than broadcast method.
 The skilled person is required to carry out sowing operation, if not the seeds are
not sown properly which may cause uneven germination and ultimately poor stand
of crops.

Rate of Planting

Among the factors to be considered concerning the number of seeds to plant are:
 The viability of the seeds. Seeds known to be low in viability should be planted more
thickly than those having high viability. Seeds held over from one year to the next
planting season should be tested for germination. If the percentage of germination is low
or if the sprouts are weak, the seeds should not be planted.
 The condition of the soil. When the soil and weather conditions are unfavorable more
seeds should be planted than when the conditions are favorable.
 The size and vigor of the plants. Seeds that produce delicate and weak plants such as
carrots, should be planted quite thickly to ensure a good stand. Any excess of plants
may be removed to prevent crowding.

the set of pictures. Links for the sources are found in the reference part of the module.

8
  The possible ravages of insects. In planting seeds, it is a common practice to plant freely
to have several times as many plants that are needed. Later on, you can practice thinning
if you found out that your plants are crowding

Depth of Planting

In places where there is heavy rainfall, seeds should be planted shallow for if planted
deeply into the soil during the rainy season, the seeds will decay. As a rule, seeds should be
at a depth at which the seeds will be able to come out well of the ground before the reserved
food in the seed becomes fully consumed and at the same time afford enough anchorage to
the roots. The size of seeds partly determines the depth at which they are to be planted. The
larger the seeds, the deeper is the planting.

Let us remember:

Planting means the placing of propagating materials either seeds or vegetative parts
of plants (seeds, cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, clones) on the soil, or at the bottom of the
furrows, and then usually covering them subsequently with soil.

 Sowing is the most important operation in crop production. The seed must be
deposited at the required depth i.e. moist zone of soil to get optimum condition for its
germination. Sowing is also the placing of the specified quantity of seeds in the soil in the
optimum position for its germination and growth.

Too shallow sowing results in thin germination due to inadequate soil moisture at the
topsoil layer. Similarly, if the seeds are sown very deeply into the soil, the young seedlings
may not be able to push their shoots above, through a thick soil layer. The seed must be sown
at the proper depth and should be properly covered with soil to get adequate moisture for its
germination. Seeds are sown either directly in the field or in nurseries where they are raised
and then transplanted later.

WHAT’S MORE

Directions:

Perform asexual method of propagation of your plant at home.

Marcotting – Fruit trees or ornamental plants.
Materials:
1. Coco coir or coco peat
2. Plastic
3. Straw
4. Budding knife
5. Shears
6. Water

Step 1. Prepare the materials that you need. These include a transparent plastic sheet, nylon
cord, small shovel, soil, cutter or knife, and of course the tree. Choose a tree that you want to
marcot.

Step 2. Girdling and scraping. Select the branch where you want to make a marcot. Usually,
a branch with the size of a pencil is chosen for this procedure, but that is not necessary at all
times. It varies from the kind of tree. Make a two cut or girdle on the bark
of the tree about 3-5 inches apart using a knife or cutter. Move the knife
in a circular motion around the stem. Remove the strip of bark from the
tree. Carefully scrape the stem to remove the slippery coating to prevent
the wound from healing and reconnecting. This step is critical. Because
if you do not remove the slippery coating, the wound will heal and a new bark will appear and
the roots will not appear and grow.

Step3. Put and coat the wet soil around the debarked stem by pressing
it using your palm and fingers. You can use gloves if you don’t want your
hands to become dirty.

10
Step 4 . Tightly wrap around the soil with a transparent plastic sheet.

Step 5. Tie the plastic. Tie first the lower portion of the plastic to avoid
the soil from escaping. Then tie the upper portion of the plastic.

Note: Check the marcotted plants for roots after 4 weeks. Normally rooting takes place from
eight to ten weeks and in some cases, more.
