Ever increasing demand for forest produce necessitates urgency to improve the productivity of the forest. Tree breeding and propagation technologies serve as important tools in tree improvement programs. However, breeding of tree species for sustainable gain takes years or even decades and seed raised plantation of any species is bound to exhibit variations in growth and other characteristics. Propagation by vegetative means assumes importance when desirable biotypes need to be multiplied in a short span of time. In this paper vegetative propagation techniques of tree species for higher biomass yield are discussed.
