 ABSTRACT

Horticulture crops are propagated mainly by two methods viz. sexual (seed) and asexual (vegetative). The plants produced through former method do not produce seedlings true-to-type wherein, identical characters (true-to-type) are inherited from mother plant through asexual method of propagation. Budding is one of the important methods of asexual propagation. The plants produced through budding have uniform maturity along with quality fruit. Seedling plants are having long juvenile period and gigantic growth habit which hampers plant protection, crop management and harvesting operations. Seed propagation and budding method of asexual propagation with its type is reviewed and presented.

Keywords: Propagation, Budding, Types of budding, Seed propagation.
