Layering: Asexual Propagation Technique for Plant Growth

Explore the method of layering in plant propagation, where roots form on a stem attached to the parent plant, enhancing nutrient absorption. Learn about simple, air, compound, mound, and trench layering methods. This technique, detailed in the original work from "Applied Technologies" and edited by Dr. Teri Hamlin, offers advantages like resource utilization while requiring more time compared to other propagation methods. Discover how layering benefits specific plants.

  1. Asexual Propagation by Layering Plant Propagation Original work from “Applied Technologies” edited and used with permission by Dr. Teri Hamlin

  2. Table of Contents • Introduction to Plant Propagation • Sexual Propagation • Asexual Propagation • Stem, Leaf, Cuttings • Layering • Separation & Division • Tissue Culture • Budding and Grafting

  3. What is layering? • a method of asexual propagation in which roots are formed on a stem or root while it is still attached to the parent plant • the stem or root which is rooted is called alayer

  4. Why use this method? • Some plants are propagated easiest using this method. Advantage • The plant being rooted benefits from the resource of water and nutrients that the mother plant provides.

  5. Disadvantages: • Requires more time than other methods of propagation • Fewer plants can be started from each parent plant

  6. Methods of Layering • Simple Layering • Air Layering • Compound Layering • Mound Layering • Trench Layering
