Micropropagation
Micropropagation is the process of growing seed in a controlled environment. At Valley Tissue Culture that means a sterile lab where the process of invitro increase begins. Since the potential for disease is very high, great care is taken to ensure an uncontaminated plantlet is sent on the next step in the process, the greenhouse. Greenhouse Environment and Natural Dormancy All Valley Tissue Culture seed stock is greenhouse grown to eliminate risk of potential undesirable pathogens. The number of crops we produce each year is limited so that the natural dormancy period is respected. This means all Valley Tissue Culture Mini Tubers have the correct dormancy for timely sprout development, and northern vigor for healthier plants. |
