Stem cuttings are commonly used for propagation in
(A)Rubber
(B)Mangoes
(C)Sugarcane
(D)Jasmine

Answer 1

Hint Stem cuttings are commonly used for propagation in that plant which is tall perennial grass in the genus Saccharum, tribe Andropogoneae, that are used for the production of very useful ingredients I.e sugar.

Complete answer: Plant cutting is the common method for vegetative propagation i.e asexual method by which plants are often grown. This method is performed by using stem, roots, or leaf. Stem cutting when placed in soil produces roots and leaves and grows into a brand new plant. The plants that are largely propagated by stem cuttings are Sugar cane, citrus, roses, durant, cocoa, grapes, carnations, bougainvillea, etc.

Additional Information: A stem cutting is a separated portion of plant stem which will regrow into a brand new independent clone via vegetative propagation. There is a range of factors which will influence the successful rooting of a stem cutting, including:
-The Cutting position (whether cutting occurs above or below a node, also because of the relative proximity of the move the node)
-Length of cutting (including what number of nodes remain on the cutting)
-The Growth medium (whether left in the soil, water, potting mix, compost, or open-air)
-The use and concentration of growth hormones.
-The Temperature conditions (most of the plant cuttings grow optimally at temperatures common to spring and summer)
-Availability of water (either within the sort of groundwater or humidity)
-Other environmental conditions (including pH of the soil and lightweight exposure)

So, the correct answer is ‘Sugarcane ’.

Note: All of the stems possess nodes, from which a leaf, branch, or aerial root can grow – the region between nodes are called internodes. Stem cuttings are typically placed in the soil with the lower nodes covered and therefore the upper nodes are exposed.
