For all undergraduate courses in plant propagation at the two-year and four-year colleges and universities.
The world standard for plant propagation and horticulture for over 50 years, Hartmann and Kester’s Plant Propagation continues to be the field’s most complete, up-to-date text on plant propagation. It now contains color figures throughout, promoting learning and making it an even more useful working text and reference. It also contains extensive updates reflecting the latest commercial techniques and understanding of propagation biology. Like previous editions, it is organized into paired chapters on principles and practices, so it can easily be adapted for teaching courses that cover only practical topics, and for courses that also cover conceptual issues.

Hallmark Features
Paired practical and conceptual chapters–alternate the principles underlying the science of propagation alternate with the technical practices and skills used for commercial plant propagation
Students first learn key concepts, and are then given the practical techniques and “how-to, hands-on” lab practice they need to translate those concepts into success in the field
Clear chapter introductions and objectives–help students understand exactly what they will learn in each chapter, and why it is important
Prepares students to learn more quickly, efficiently, and successfully
Discussion items, keyword lists, in-depth boxed efatures, and extensive references–promote a deeper and more thorough understanding of the entire field
Helps students learn more about any topic they are interested in
Comprehensive coverage–from historical background and basic plant biology concepts through environmental impact and both seed (sexual) and vegetative (clonal) propagation
Gives students a single-source resource for all the principles and practical knowledge they need to succeed with plant propagation
Thorough reference chapters on specific propagation methods–for fruit, herbaceous annual and perennials, and woody plants, respectively
Allows students to simply look up the correct propagation method for hundreds of plants — making this book an indispensable working reference for years to come
