SAH propagation techniques for tuber germplasm

A regional biotechnological collaboration to benefit producers and concumers of Latin American and Caribbean staples

Swift propagation is a cornerstone of successful germplasm banks, and potato, cassava, and other tubers are the basis of Latin American and Caribbean diets. This biocultural characteristic will become ever more critical in a changing climate. The course Update workshop on SAH Seedling Propagation Method (Autotrophic Hydroponic System) in roots and tubers, as a mass propagation technique, is an example of regional collaboration in biotechnology for a safe future.
