and inflammation. It is also
by other names such as gum
Arabic tree, babul kikar,
Egyptian thorn, Sant tree,
prickly acacia.

22. • Diameter Measurement Using Callipar And Tape . Write its
Methodology
• diameter tape- is the most common tool. The tape is wrapped
around the tree, measuring its circumference. The tape is graduated to
reflect a conversion from tree circumference to tree diameter. Thus,
circumference is measured, but diameter can be recorded to the
nearest 0.1 inch. Granted, most trees are not perfect circles, so there is
some error in this method. However, except on extremely irregular
trees, this method seems to “average out” the tree’s shape to an
acceptable estimate.
23. UsingCalliper
A tree caliper is a special caliper to measure the diameter at breast
height of a tree. When used in landscaping, the term "caliper" can
refer to the diameter of a tree's trunk at breast height itself. The
measurement is generally made at 4.5 feet (1.4 m) to 5 feet (1.5 m)
above the soil
25. Natural Vegetative Propagation
• This occurs when plants grow and develop naturally
without any human interference. Natural vegetative
propagation can be enabled by the development of
adventitious roots. Thus, new plants may emerge
from the roots, stem and leaves of the parent plant.
• The vegetative plant structures arising from the stem
are known as rhizomes, bulbs, runners, tubers, etc.
The plants propagated vegetatively are given-
26. • Stem Runners grow horizontally above the ground. The buds are
formed at the nodes of the runners.
• Roots: New plants emerge out of swollen, modified roots known
as tubers. Buds are formed at the base of the stem.
• Leaves: Leaves of a few plants get detached from the parent plant
and develop into a new plant.
• Bulbs: Bulbs have an underground stem to which the leaves are
attached. These leaves are capable of storing food. The centre of
the bulb contains an apical bud that produces leaves and flowers.
Shoots are developed from the lateral buds.
27. Artificial Vegetative Propagation
Cutting -A plant cutting is a piece of a plant that is
usedin horticulture for vegetative (asexual) propagat
ion. A piece of the stem or root of the source plant is
placed in a suitable medium such as moist soil. If
the conditions are suitable, the plant piece will begin
to grow as a new plant independent of the parent, a
process known as striking. A stem cutting produces
new roots, and a root cutting produces new stems.
Some plants can be grown from leaf pieces, called
leaf cuttings, which produce both stems and roots.
The scions used in grafting are also called cuttings.

29. 2- Grafing
• Grafting involves attaching a scion, or a
desired cutting, to the stem of another
plant called stock that remains rooted in
the ground. Eventually both tissue systems
become grafted or integrated and a plant
with the characteristics of the grafted
plant develops,[27] e.g. mango, guava, etc.

32. 3.Layering
• Layering is a process which includes the bending
of plant branches or stems so that they touch the
ground and are covered with soil. Adventitious
roots develop from the underground part of the
plant, which is known as the layer. This method of
vegetative reproduction also occurs naturally.
Another similar method, air layering, involved the
scraping and replanting of tree branches which
develop into trees. Example-Jasmine and
Bougainvillea.

34. Budding
• Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism
develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one
particular site. The small bulb-like projection coming out from the
yeast cell is known as a bud
