Study Notes
Rubber Tree Propagation
- Rubber trees produce seeds twice a year, limiting propagation time.
- Micropropagation overcomes this limitation, enabling propagation year-round.
- Micropropagation is valuable for preserving desirable plants.
- It facilitates breeding of difficult-to-breed species.
- It accelerates plant breeding programs.
- It provides ample plant material for research and plantations.
- Micropropagation allows for the creation of disease-free plants from healthy plant tissue.
Impact of Micropropagation
- Micropropagation contributes substantially to food security.
- It also enhances income generation.
- Micropropagation technology is relatively inexpensive and easy to implement.
