Abstract: Cassava is a perennial shrub of the family Euphorbiaceae, cultivated mainly for its starchy roots. It is one of the most important food staples in the tropics, where it is the fourth most important source of energy. On a worldwide basis it is ranked as the sixth most important source of calories in the human diet (FAO, 1999). Given the crop’s tolerance to poor soil and harsh climatic conditions, it is generally cultivated by small farmers as a subsistence crop in a diverse range of agricultural and food systems. Although cassava is a perennial crop, the storage roots can be harvested from 6 to 24 months after planting (MAP), depending on cultivar and the growing conditions (El-Sharkawy, 1993). In the humid lowland tropics the roots can be harvested after 6–7 months. In regions with prolonged periods of drought or cold, the farmers usually harvest after 18–24 months (Cock, 1984). Moreover, the roots can be left in the ground without harvesting for a long period of time, making it a very useful crop as a security against famine (Cardoso and Souza, 1999). Cassava can be propagated from either stem cuttings or sexual seed, but the former is the commonest practice. Propagation from true seed occurs under natural conditions and is widely used in breeding programmes. Plants from true seed take longer to become established, and they are smaller and less vigorous than plants from cuttings. The seedlings are genetically segregated into different types due to their reproduction by cross-pollination. If propagated by cuttings under favourable conditions, sprouting and adventitious rooting occur after 1 week.

TL;DR: There are numerous methods of vegetative propagation varying from naturally detachable structures (bulbs & corns), through many kinds of cuttings to methods of budding and grafting — all of which lead to the production of genetically uniform plants i.e. a clone.
Abstract: In plant propagation various methods are used, depending on the objective. To reproduce a botanical species of plant, seedlings are generally used even if there is a certain amount of variation amongst the daughter plants. This variation, which results from the combination of different genes from the two parent plants may be quite acceptable in the propagation of certain ornamental plants where one simply wishes to reproduce the general species characteristics. However in many cases one is interested in reproducing certain specific characteristics of a plant that are of great importance from a horticultural point of view, e.g. the colour of a rose flower, or the shape, size and texture of a specific fruit. Where one has a group of plants which all have identical desirable characteristics that can be reproduced when propagated, the group is referred to as a cultivated variety or cultivar (Anon, 1969). Some cultivars e.g. of annual flowers and vegetables come true-to-type when grown from seed because their chromosome pairs have fairly uniform genes (homozygous). By culling off-type plants before flowering, the desirable characteristics of the 'line' are retained when it is propagated by seed. Many other plants, especially perennials, have very variable gene-pairs (i.e. they are heterozygous) and seedlings grown from them do not reproduce the horticulturally desirable characteristics. In such cases it is essential to propagate the cultivar by some asexual or vegetative method to retain the desirable, characteristics, in the daughter plants. This is possible with plants where, in the normal process of cell division, the exact genetic constitution (genotype) is duplicated in every daughter cell. With plants it is also possible to induce the differentiation of different organs from other parts of the plant, e.g. roots from stems, and buds on roots. Thus there are numerous methods of vegetative propagation varying from naturally detachable structures (bulbs & corns), through many kinds of cuttings to methods of budding and grafting — all of which lead to the production of genetically uniform plants i.e. a clone. However a danger inherent in all methods of vegetative propagation is that if the plants become infected with virus diseases the virus that is contained within the cells, can be propagated along with every daughter plant. Besides the undesirable visual symptoms
