Students engage in an examination of propagation materials and structures, principles of vegetation propagation, seed propagation procedures, the principles and techniques for grafting, the processes of layering and division and the regeneration techniques used to micropropagate horticultural species. Students demonstrate competence on the variations in plant propagation that are applied in different sectors of the plant propagation trade.
Students will be able to describe the structures and environments that are combined to create the conditions necessary for plant propagation.
Student will be able to explain the conditions that are necessary for successful vegetative/asexual plant propagation.
Students will be able to describe the conditions that are necessary for successful seed propagation of plants.
Students will be able to describe the basic principles of grafting and how different grafts are used for different plants and situations.
Students will be able to explain layering and division as propagation techniques where new plants are generated vegetatively.
Students will be able to describe basic tissue culture propagation techniques in the propagation of plants.
A microcredential is a certification of assessed competencies that is additional, alternate, complementary to, or a component of a formal qualification.
