The Science of Propagation: Volume Four- Tubers & Tuberous Roots

The Science of Propagation series is growing!!! The first three videos in this series have been around for over ten years and will continue to provide the basic introduction on this theme. Now this in-depth video series is expanding to offer students a greater variety of propagation techniques as well as the terms and principles so essential to this science.

The new volumes in this series will not only explain how to make more plants but will also include extra lab activities which will show how to harvest, handle, store and process the fruits of our labors. Soon to be available is the 4th program in this series: The Science of Propagation: Volume Four - Tubers & Tuberous Roots, which will focus on these underground storage structures in great detail. The primary crops used are potatoes, sweet potatoes and dahlias. Aside from the traditional propagation methods using potato tubers, students will also learn how to work with True Seed Potatoes or TSP.

True Seed Potatoes are vital in the development of new potato varieties and are increasingly being produced for developing countries. Sweet potato cuttings are also demonstrated along with a delicious way to use these nutritious roots. Volume Four shows how to propagate the tuberous roots of dahlias and also demonstrates various treatments for extending the vase life of these extraordinary cut flowers.

Crazy About Cacti

Cacti have evolved to survive in a wide range of environmental conditions. They are best known for their ability to conserve water, and are most easily recognized by their spines. Most people think of cacti as only growing in arid desert areas. They are surprised that certain species of these plants can grow in cold climates, as well as the damp, shady environments of a jungle. They can also be found as high as 15,000 feet in the Andes. Some are smaller than a quarter and others are as big as trees. Some species can live well over 100 years. No matter where you live, you can find cacti that will thrive in your climate.

Viewers see a very wide range of interesting cacti and learn about soil, water, culture, light requirements and propagation techniques to keep their plant collection flourishing.

Crazy About Cacti will be complete and ready for shipment by early March, 2009. This program is closed captioned for the hearing impared, and has English subtitles available. Also included is a transcript of the script and a helpful teaching guide with questions for discussion, true/false and multiple choice questions. Click here to learn more.
