Q. Consider the following plants:
  1. Jasmine
  2. Sugarcane
  3. Turmeric
Which of the above can be propagated by vegetative methods?
Answer: 1, 2 and 3
Notes: Jasmine is propagated via cuttings or layering; sugarcane through stem cuttings (setts); and turmeric by planting rhizomes. All three methods are vegetative propagations, meaning new plants are produced from parts of the parent plant without the use of seeds. Thus, all listed plants can be propagated vegetatively.
