NURSERY PRACTICESS AND ASEXUAL PROPAGATION

1.) DEFINED THE FOLLOWING:

a) NURSERY - Is a place where plants are grown for transplanting for use as stock for budding.
b) BALLING - Is the process of moving a tree by digging out the earth and the root in a circular
shape.
c) HARDENING - Is the process of exposing transplant(seeding)annually to outdoor condition.
d) PRICKING - Is a term that means transplanting them.
e) SCION - An alternative spelling of scion is the bud of a plant.
f) ROOTSTOCK - The base and roots portion of a grafted plant.

2.) MODIFIED PLANT PART

RUNNER – Is a slender stem that grows horizontally along the ground, giving rise to roots and
aerial(vertical)branches at specialized points called nodes.

SLIP – A part, such as stem, leaf, or root remove from a plant to propagate a new plant, as through
rooting or grafting.

CROWN –Is where the plant stem meets the roots. This is where the energy and nutrients from the
roots are transferred to the stem and eventually to the flowers.

BUB –Small lateral and terminal protuberance as the stem of a vascular plant that may develop into a
flower, leaf, or shoot.

SUCKERS/TUBERS – Allows horticulturists and agriculturist to produced a desired plant over and over
without significant variation.

CORMETS – Is to utilized single cells to measured DNA damage. First cell are embedded into agarose and
then placed onto side.

BUBES – This white foam blobs are produced by the immatures, or nymphs of spittlebugs. Small insects
related to aphids and other true bugs in the order Hemiptera.

CORM –It is a vertical, fleshy, underground stem that acts as a food-storage structure in certain seeds
plants.

TUBEROUS ROOT – Roots are found in a number of the plants including asparagus, airplane plant,
dahlia, daylilies, peonies, semi irises, sweet potato, taro, and many others.

RHIZONE –Is a modified subterranean plant stem that sends out roots and shoots from its nodes.

PLANNET – Planet plant is a family-run, wholesale nursery with a range of interesting and unusual
plants.
3.) What will happened to the plant material vascular bundles if a dull knife is use
in a graftage and cuttage?
 If a knife is used for graftage and cottage should be keep as sharp as
possible to reduce or avoid damage to the bud. A dull knife will strip and
tear the wood, leaving cuts to the vascular bundles that do not heal
properly the grafted plant won’t germinate.

4.) What are some of the desirable characteristics to be sought in a certain

rootstock?
 In the selection of rootstock the plant must be vigorous, healthy and pests
and diseases so that the resulting plant would surely grow and healthy.
5.) Give the physical/visual description of the cambium layer. Why it is scraped off
in marcotting while in graftage, effort is taken that the cambium layer of the stock
and the scion matches.
 A cambium layer is thin formative layer of tissue between the xylem and
phloem in most vascular plants that is responsible for secondary growth.
Grafting is used to propagate plants that does not root well. On the other
hand, marcotting is done when the scion is limited also it is faster and
provides a stronger union than grafting.
6.) What is polarity and why is it of vital importance in plant propagation?
 Is the condition where the plant parts maintain their spatial orientation
when separated from the mother plant and the important because it
ensure the successful plant propagation.
7.) In relation to crop protection, what is the distinct advantage of tissue culture
over other methods of asexual propagation?
 The advantage of tissue cultured plants over non-tissue cultural plant is, In
tissue culture the plants propagated are healthy, disease free, and the
plants is surely to propagate.
