respected madhuri ji
air layering is method of vegetative propagation. by selecting pencil size
branch bark of about 1 inch is removed and sphagnum moss is tied around it
; after 45 to 60 days it produces roots. then cut branch and plant in poly
bag. this help to reduce juvenile phase i.e. flowers come early within 2 to
3 years. and produce true to type seedlings as mother plant. mostly done in
citrus,guava,aegle, yhank you. please search on net for figures and
details
