Tissue Culturing

The technique of cleaning plants of disease, then multiplying in culture means a faster release of new cultivars (this is already achieved with potatoes) and healthier uniform plants with more uniform fruits or tubers.

The process of tissue culture combined with disease control and testing leads to endless possibilities for the future. We also have the expertise to work with other crops or species of plants. In the same Scheme we have worked with such crops as:
  • Strawberries
  • Asparagus
  • Oca (NZ Yams)
  • Canna Lilies, Chrysanthemums, Roses, Carnations.
