ABSTRACT
Many agricultural crops of economic importance are vegetatively propagated. This work was done to elaborate more on vegetatively propagated crops, importance and developing new cultivars of vegetative propagated crops. Vegetative propagation aids to fix favorable combinations of important traits, very specific chemical compositions, superior genetic variance interactions and high levels of heterozygosity. Breeding vegetative propagated crops involve few genetic crossing and genetic combination by sexual reproduction. Vegetatively propagated crops are best suited for maintaining hybrid vigour because once a desired hybrid has been produced; there are fewer chances of losing it. Breeding by mutation enables to get improved characters in plant like tolerance to environment pressure, plant shape, changes in oil content, disease resistant in plant and protein quality.
