Cuttage

 


            Cuttage may be described as a method of propagation of plants by the detached vegetative plant parts which when placed under conditions favourable for rejuvenation will develop into a complete plant similar in all characteristics to the parent from which it was taken. A cutting may be defined as any vegetative plant part, when detached from the parent, is capable of regenerating the missing organ or organs. According to the plant part from which a cutting is prepared, they can be classified as root cutting, stem cutting, leaf cutting and leaf bud cuttings.
