Commercial method of propagation in mango is: (RJ ASCO 2011)

✅Explanation:
Veneer grafting is the most widely used method for commercial mango propagation. It involves taking a thin strip of bark (with a bud) from a desired mango variety and inserting it onto a compatible rootstock. This method ensures the new mango tree will bear fruit true to the parent variety.
-Advantages of Veneer Grafting: Produces high-quality fruit, ensures disease-free plants, and allows for the propagation of specific mango varieties.
-Mango (Mangifera indica): Mango is a tropical fruit tree native to the Indian subcontinent. It's known as the "king of fruits" and is widely cultivated for its delicious and nutritious fruits.

✏️Why other methods are less suitable:
-Seed: Mango seeds often don't reproduce true to type, leading to variations in fruit quality.
-Budding: While a viable method, it may not be as efficient as veneer grafting for large-scale mango production.
-Cutting: Mango trees are not easily propagated from cuttings.

🔑Key Points::
-Mango and guava are propagated through grafting.
-It is a horticulture technique where the living detached portion of the plant is used to regenerate the growth.
-One plant is selected for its roots and this is called the stock or rootstock.
-The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits and is called the scion.
-The joining of scion and stalk is known as inosculation.
-The techniques are mostly used in the asexual mode of reproduction.
