This activity contains 29 questions.

Question 1
1
Open Hint for Question 1 in a new window		 ____________________ is the asexual reproduction of genetically uniform copies (clones) of plants using propagules such as stem, leaf and root cuttings.
 
End of Question 1


Question 2
2
Open Hint for Question 2 in a new window		 __________ are a portion of stems, roots or leaves that are detached from a plant and used to clonally multiply new plants.
 
End of Question 2


Question 3
3
Open Hint for Question 3 in a new window		 _______________ arise from any plant part other than terminal, lateral or latent buds on stems. They form irregularly on older portions of a plant and not at the stem tips or in the leaf axils.
 
End of Question 3


Question 4
4
Open Hint for Question 4 in a new window		 _________________ arise from any plant part other than by the normal development and ontogeny of the seedling root and its branches; they can also be regenerated from root-pruned seedlings.
 
End of Question 4


Question 5
5
Open Hint for Question 5 in a new window		 ____________________ is a thin film of water produced through a pressurized irrigation system that cools the atmosphere and leaf surface of cuttings.
 
End of Question 5


Question 6
6
Open Hint for Question 6 in a new window		 ________________ are similar to intermittent mist, except the particle size of the water applied is much finer and water does not condense on the surfaces of the cutting.
 
End of Question 6


Question 7
7
Open Hint for Question 7 in a new window		 _________________ are an enclosed propagation process where watered-in hardwood or semi-hardwood cuttings are tightly covered by a sheet of poly in a propagation house under shade control.
 
End of Question 7


Question 8
8
Open Hint for Question 8 in a new window		 ________________ is the use of tent-type poly structures to enclose a mist propagation bench to minimize environmental fluctuations during rooting of cuttings.
 
End of Question 8


Question 9
9
Open Hint for Question 9 in a new window		 _________is a phytohormone or plant growth regulator that can stimulate cuttings to root. Commercially used compounds include: indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and a-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA).
 
End of Question 9


Question 10
10
Open Hint for Question 10 in a new window		 _________ are small plants produced from rooted cuttings, seedlings (plugs) or tissue culture.
 
End of Question 10


Question 11
11
Open Hint for Question 11 in a new window		 _____________ is the constriction of the phloem of a stem by wounding, bending, tying with a band that can be used to enhance the rooting potential of cuttings or layers, before they are removed from the stock plant.
 
End of Question 11


Question 12
12
Open Hint for Question 12 in a new window		 ______________ is the process of forming a protective, semi-impermeable layer that occurs under (internal to) the wounded surface area of a cutting.
 
End of Question 12


Question 13
13
Open Hint for Question 13 in a new window		 __________________ are the step-wise tasks and methods needed for efficiently performing a propagation process, such as the collection, pre-treatment and post-treatment handling of cuttings for rooting.
 
End of Question 13


Question 14
14
Open Hint for Question 14 in a new window		 The ______________ is the zone of soil immediately adjacent to plant roots in which the kinds, numbers, or activities of microorganisms differ from that of the bulk soil.
 
End of Question 14


Question 15
15
Open Hint for Question 15 in a new window		 _____________ is the rapid depletion of essential nutrient reserves from a cutting that is caused by intermittent mist.
