Propagation Methods

propagation methods

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.

 

This badge includes the following microcredentials:

Propagation Materials and Structures

Students will be able to describe the structures and environments that are combined to create the conditions necessary for plant propagation.

Biological Principles of Vegetative Propagation

Student will be able to explain the conditions that are necessary for successful vegetative/asexual plant propagation.

Seed Propagation Procedures

Students will be able to describe the conditions that are necessary for successful seed propagation of plants.

Principles and Techniques for Grafting

Students will be able to describe the basic principles of grafting and how different grafts are used for different plants and situations.

Layering and Division Processes

Students will be able to explain layering and division as propagation techniques where new plants are generated vegetatively.

Regeneration Techniques used to Micropropagate Species

Students will be able to describe basic tissue culture propagation techniques in the propagation of plants.
