Answer to Question 1

In addition to propagation directly from seeds, plants may also propagate through
asexual reproduction which may involve division of roots, cuttings of leaves, stems, or
roots; budding and grafting; and by tissue culture. The advantages of asexual
reproduction are that the result creates an exact duplicate of the existing plant. The
disadvantages include the time involved.



Answer to Question 2

Biostimulants stimulate soil microbial activity and improve soil cation exchange
capacity, stimulate plant growth, and promote disease resistance. Root growth
biostimulants improve water and nutrient uptake by the roots and also increase the
number of fibrous roots. Biostimulants can greatly reduce the need for fertilizers,
especially nitrogen, which saves the grower money and reduces water pollution from
excess nitrogen run-off or percolation into ground or stream water.
