Asexual reproduction
The advantage of asexual propagation to farmers is that the crops will be more uniform than those produced from seed. Some plants are difficult to cultivate from seed and asexual reproduction in these plants makes it possible to produce crops that would otherwise not be available for commercial marketing.
Sexual reproduction
The advantages of sexual reproduction in plants: Produces genetic variation in the offspring. The species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage. A disease is less likely to affect all the plants in a population.
