(1) Plants produced by vegetative propagation are genetically similar and constitute a uniform population called as clone.

(2) Plants that have reduced power of sexual reproduction, long dormant period of seed, poor viability can be  multiplied by vegetative methods.

(3) Some fruit trees like banana, pineapple  that do not produce viable seeds and dub grass which produces small quantity of seeds can  be  propagated by vegetative methods.

(4) It is a rapid and easier method of propagation.

(5) Good characters can be  preserved by vegetative propagation.

(6) Vegetative Propagation can be used to develop Virus Free plants.

(7) Grafting helps in getting an economically important plant having useful characteristic of  two different individuals in short time in a single plant.
