SummaryTable of Contents
Intended for university-level plant propagation courses. Some background in biology is assumed.Hallmarked as the most successful text of its kind, this remarkably thorough text covers all aspects of the propagation of plants - both sexual and asexual - with considerable attention given to human (vs natural) efforts to increase plant numbers.
Intended for students and readers having some background in biology, the latest edition of Plant Propagation represents an extensive reorganization and revision. While special ... MORE
