Propagation could include

determining propagation methods for selected plants
using sexual and asexual methods for plant reproduction
practicing seed harvesting and storage
discussing pretreatments (e.g., stratification, scarification, pelleted, coated)
identifying the appropriate substrate, light, temperature, nutrient, and water requirements for the selected plant(s)
applying pest and disease mitigation strategies and best management practices to prevent and control pests and diseases
discussing why pesticide application is permitted ONLY by certified pesticide applicators
discussing the advantages and disadvantages of micropropagation/tissue culture.
