Vegetative propagatoion of plants now constitutes a fundamental scientific & economic importance. Much research work has been carried out in this field but further study on many other aspects like reducing gestation period & propagating difficult to multiply tree species is still required. There are number of publications available providing information on vegetative propagation, however, publications containing consolidated information on the above issues is rarely available. This book gives detailed account of a newly developed technique of vegetative multiplication & its successful application on important tree species viz. Taxus baccata & Rhododendron arboreum. The technique is easy to apply, cost effective, time saving and may be easily applied in the field. This book has been divided into 6 chapters i.e. Introduction, Review of literature, Material & Methods, Results, Discussion & Conclusion. This book will be of particular interest to forestry, botany, horticulture - students/researchers and professionals. In-addition, this book will be very useful for nursery growers, farmers & individuals interested in vegetative propagation of fruit & forest trees.
