Strawberry is commercially propagated by: (IGKV CET Horti 2021)

✅Explanation:Strawberry plants are commercially propagated most efficiently using runners. These are slender, horizontal stems that grow out from the base of a mature strawberry plant.

• How Runners are Used for Propagation:
-Growers can detach runners with well-developed roots from the mother plant.
-These detached plantlets are then transplanted into separate pots or planting beds to establish new strawberry plants.

• Other Propagation Methods (Less Common):
-Rhizomes: Underground stems with a crown from which runners emerge.
-Suckers: While some strawberry varieties might produce suckers (shoots arising from the roots), runners are the preferred method for commercial propagation.
-Bulbs: Bulbs are underground storage organs found in plants like tulips and daffodils.
