Best Answer

Micropropagation is a technique, which is used to propagate plants that are

(1) Threatened/endangered

(2) Difficult to propagate conventional methods

(3) Poor seed availability (poor sexual reproduction)

The reason behind the use of the technique varied depends upon user/plant.

The technique is not a expensive one when it used properly.
