Vegetative propagation is an important technique in modern Indian agriculture to increase crop yields. It involves reproducing plants through plant parts like stems, roots, and leaves rather than seeds. The key types of vegetative propagation discussed are cuttings, layering, and grafting. Cuttings involve propagating plants from stem, root, or leaf cuttings taken from a mother plant. Layering causes a stem to root while still attached to the parent plant. Grafting involves joining tissue from one plant onto another to propagate commercially important crops like mangoes. Vegetative propagation allows for mass production of plants with desired traits and is widely used in horticultural nurseries.

Cuttings are pieces of plant tissue placed under suitable conditions to regenerate a new plant. Layering is the development of roots on a stem while still attached to the parent plant. The document provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of techniques for each propagation method.

6. Make a Nursery [checklist 1]
Patchouli nursery from cuttings
from a good and chosen parent
plant. Learn how to do it from
Department of Agriculture's
instructors. Grow the cutting
first using a polybag.
Parent plants - Select from a
patchouli parent plant from
local variety with good growth
and no disease. Cutting sizes -
branch/stem diameter for
cutting is 0.8 - 1 cm. The length
of a cutting 15 - 25 cm and has
at least six buds.
Root stimulant - Remove all the leaves
except 4 small leaves on the top, then soak
the tip of the cuttings stem in a root
stimulating organic liquid fertilizer for 5
minutes.
Continue to checklist 2

7. Make a Nursery [checklist 2]
Root growth - tie the cuttings together with
50 - 100 other patchouli cuttings stems and
leave for 15 days.
Polybag - When the root and the
leaves start to grow, move the
cuttings into a polybag filled with
the following evenly-mixed
materials: 10 kgs of soil, 12.5 kgs
of husk, 2.5 kgs of sand, and 10
kgs of animal compost. Grow the
cuttings in the polybag for 2
months at most.
Make a shade house - The shade
house is 180-cm-high on the east
side and 120-cm-high on the west
side so the sunlight can shine in.
Cover the top of the shade house
with leaves or plastic net so the
sunlight does not shine directly
onto the cuttings. Place the
polybags in shade house.

9. Prepare Land [checklist ]
Preparing the land for patchouli cultivation
requires the following steps:
• Prepare land by clearing
grass and shrubs
• Prune the branches and
leaves of tall trees around the
growing area
• If flat land, make a trench
to avoid stagnant water. For
sloping land, drainage is not
necessary

11. Planting [checklist 1]
The steps in planting patchouli are:
Measure the space between
plants since it is a very
important issue for fully-grown
patchoulis. An ideal planting
space for a fertile land is 100 cm
x 100 cm or 1 metre square,
whereas a less-fertile land (such
as terracota) requires 60 cm x
60 cm spacing.
Make plant holes (5-cm-deep).
After the cuttings are taken
from the parent plant's stem, it
can be planted in the land right
away, but this method has high
risk of dead cuttings. It is
recommended to use a cuttings
that has been planted in a
polybag before. (See 3 Make a
nursery)

12. Planting [checklist 2]
Put the cuttings in the plant
hole. The stem's position
should be flat on the ground
and sideways.
Cover with soil and use your
foot to press it gently so the
cuttings could blend with the
soil.
Plant at the beginning of the
rain/wet season Young
patchouli cuttings need shade
from leaves or by planting
temporary shading crops such
as maize in between the
patchouli plants. Maize will be
ready to be harvested in 3-4
months after which patchouli
cuttings are well established

14. Maintenance [checklist 1]
There are several steps that has
to be done in maintaining
patchouli plant:
Clear the area from weeds and
other un supporting plants
regularly, using hoes and
machetes. Be careful not to
disturb the roots and cause
disease to the patchouli plants.
Stitching is done after the
plants aged 2 - 4 weeks, by
removing dead plants or plants
infected by pests and diseases.
Burn or dispose those dead
plants away from the planting
area to avoid spreading disease.
Continue to checklist 2
Text with underline is clickable
15. Maintenance [checklist 2]
Trimming after the plants are
3-month-old and clumps are
formed that touch other
patchouli plants. Trimming is
to the third branch and above.
Recovery is done after
harvesting. The branches,
stems and twigs that are left
behind after harvest and are
close to the ground are
covered with 10-to-15-cm-
thick of soil.
Break the tips of the branches
that are far from the ground
(but make sure that they are
still connected) and cover the
broken cuttings with soil so
that patchouli tillers will grow
and may produce more crop.

16. Why Patchouli?
Simple Crop and
High Selling Price
Patchouli, a member of the mint family, is
easy to cultivate and produces essential oil
with quite a high selling price.
To obtain good quality essential oil, farmers
need to focus on obtaining good root stock ,
perform maintenance on a regular basis, and
have access to a distillery where dried
leaves are purchased per kilo.
