Abstract

In selection of optimal propagation method for medicinal and aromatic plants the most relevant criteria are the propagation rate, biomass production and net production of active (useful) compounds, that determine the chemical quality of the drug plants. Essential paramethers of seed quality (vigor, viability) as well as some experiences on generative and/or vegetative propagation are reviewed. The seed material, that has not been complied to selection/breeding mostly issues non-homogenous descendants as regards biomass production, developmental homogenity and raw materials' quality. This is the reason why in the introduction of cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants the vegetative propagation of plants is recommended, especially at species with slow and low germination rate.
