Abstract: Vegetative propagation is a remarkable tool for improving the quality of forest tree planting stock.  It is widely used as a means of genotype preservation in clone banks and seed orchards. Low quality seed and poor germination rates affect the availability of planting stock in such case vegetative propagation is the best alternative. This review paper describes about the various techniques of vegetative propagation which includes macropropagation with cuttings, grafting, layering and Micropropagation via tissue culture. The technological advancement laid forth a road map for improving traditional propagation techniques and developing new ones such as condensed node proliferation technique, excised bud technique, hydroponics and somatic embryogenesis. but despite this, the possibility of vegetative propagation using hormones is not clear for many indigenous tree species. So, this review also includes role of plant growth regulators in improving success of reproducing species. Lack of knowledge and skill is the major hurdle to use vegetative propagation. So, an attempt was made to discuss various techniques with their advancement and significance.

Keywords: Vegetative propagation, Macro propagation, Micro propagation, Plant growth regulators
