Abstract Vegetative propagation is a method used for plant reproduction. This process is commonly used in fruit plant propagation for several reasons, including the maintenance of desirable traits, rapid multiplication of plants, and ensuring genetic uniformity. Vegetative propagation is widely used in agriculture, horticulture, and landscaping for various purposes, including crop production, ornamental plant cultivation, and conservation of rare or endangered species. Various vegetative propagation techniques exploit the ability of plants to regenerate specialized tissues and structures. Commercially valuable crops, such as seedless fruits (e.g., seedless grapes and bananas) and sterile ornamental plants, are propagated through vegetative means because they do not produce variable seeds. Vegetative propagation enables the continued production of these varieties. The mass replication of commercially important fruit species depends on high-quality and consistent planting materials for economic gains. The lengthy gestation period of fruit crops also necessitates high-quality planting material to avoid any economic loss in later stages. The success rate of vegetative propagation methods depends on factors such as plant species, environmental conditions, and propagator skill. This study investigated various vegetative propagation techniques for mango, lychee, guava, jamun, lemon, salai, and Rudraksha trees. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of different methods such as stem cutting, air layering, and grafting, ensuring rapid multiplication, genetic uniformity, and preservation of desirable traits.
