Propagation practices in pomegranate: A review
Keywords:
Propagation, pomegranate, Punica granatum,, stenting grafting, budding, micropropagationAbstract
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is mainly propagated by vegetative means. Sexual propagation is not practiced commercially. Stem cutting is one of the most suitable methods for multiplication of planting material which is popular method in major parts of the world, excluding India, where air-layering (Gootee) is prevalent. Generally, hardwood and semi-hardwood stem cuttings show high rooting success and survival. In the recent past attempts have been made on micro-propagation, stenting, grafting and budding. However, both sexual and asexual methods of pomegranate propagation are reviewed in this paper .
