Image shown for entry if relevant and present

The reproduction of a plant by vegetative means, without being produced from seed, and which commonly occurs in turfgrasses. A plant which has been reproduced asexually is genetically the same as the parent plant because there has been no new combination of female and male cells, which would occur in the pollination and then germination of a new seed (and this is called sexual reproduction).
