    INTRODUCTION

    • A plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is in horticulture for vegetative


     (asexual) propagation.
    • A piece of the stem or root of the source pagation.
    • If the conditions are suitable, the plant piece will begin to grow as a new
    plant independent of the parent, a process known as striking.
    • A stem cutting produces new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems.
    • Some plants can be grown from leaf pieces, called leaf cuttings, which
    produce both stems and roots.
    • The scions used in grafting are also called cuttings.
    DEFINITION STEM CUTTING

    • In horticulture, stem cutting refers to a process used during vegetative


    propagation whereby a piece of the plant’s stem is rooted into a growth
    medium such as moist soil.
    • The stem cutting will thrive and grow as a new plant, which is entirely
    independent of the mother plant provided that the conditions are suitable.
    • Stem cuttings produce fresh roots, and once this happens, the stem
    cuttings are no longer cuttings, but new, young plants.
    • heir genetics are the exact same as the parent plant in which they are
    taken, plants grown from stem cuttings are also called clones. The entire
    process is called cloning.

    CUTTING :
    SOFTWOOD
    Softwood cuttings can be
    used to propagate a wide
    range of perennials
    and deciduous shrubs, as
    well as some trees, in spring
    and early summer. Material
    is taken from the soft and
    flexible young shoot tips,
    which root readily.

    ROOT CUTTING
                -Roots of young stock plants (juvenile) 
                -Taken during winter and early spring 
                    before new growth starts 
                    carbohydrates stored in root essential 
                -Stick root cuttings with the proximal end upward 
     

                -Plants that can be propagated by root cuttings 


                    coralberry (Acantopanax pentaphyllus) 
                    trumpet vine (Campsis ranicans) 
                    flowering quince (Chaenomeles speciosa) 
                    bleeding heart (Dicentra species) 
                    fig (Ficus carica) 
                    apple (Malus species) 
                    phlox (Phlox species) 
                    white poplar ( Populus alba) 
                    sumac (Rhus spp.) 
                    black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) 
                    rose (Rosa spp.) 
                    sassafras (Sassafras albidum) 
                    lilac (Syringa vugaris)

    CUTTING :
    HARDWOOD
    Hardwood cuttings provide
    an easy and reliable method
    of propagating a range of
    deciduous climbers, trees
    and shrubs, and as bonus,
    they are taken from mid-
    autumn until late winter
    when more time is usually
    available to the gardener.

    Some evergreen plants,


    hollies for example, can also
    be taken at the same time of
    year as other hardwood
    cuttings.

    LEAF CUTTINGS

    -Adventitious roots and


    shoots formed at the base
    of leaf blade, leaf petiole 
                -The original leaf
    does not become part of the
    new plant 
                -Examples 
                  Sansevieria ----
    new plant forms at the
    base 
                      S.
    trifasciata laurenti -
    varigated sansevieria 
                              periclinal
    chimera- use a division
    method

    L EA F- BUD
    CUTTINGS
         
    -Consists of a leaf blade,
    petiole, an axillary bud on a
    node 
                -Single-eye or
    double-eye nodal cuttings

    Examples :   black raspberry


    (Rubus occidentalis),
    blackberry, bosenberry,
    lemon, camellia, jojoba
    CONCLUSION

    •  Plantation is a large-scale farm that specializes in cash crops.


    • The crops grown include cotton, coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar cane, sisal, oil seeds, oil palms, rubber trees, and
    fruits. 
    • Protectionist policies and natural comparative advantage have sometimes contributed to determining where
    plantations were located.
    • A plantation house is the main house of a plantation, often a substantial farmhouse, which often serves as
    a symbol for the plantation as a whole. 
    • Plantation houses in the Southern United States and in other areas were often quite grand and expensive
    architectural works.
    • Plantation agriculture grew rapidly with the increase in international trade and the development of a 
    worldwide economy that followed the expansion of European colonial empires.
    • Like every economic activity, it has changed over time.
