Propagation Vol. 7: World Food Crops — Grains and Legumes

NEW Grains and legumes feed half of the world‘s growing population and also make fascinating subjects for propagation.

By following the program‘s step-by-step procedures, students will gain valuable experience and develop a greater appreciation for the food staples we all eat.

Propagation Vol. 8: World Food Crops — Tropicals

NEW Volume Eight presents the reproduction techniques as well as cultural information for food staples grown in tropical regions. These economically-important crops feed much of the world’s population yet most of these plants are practically unknown in the USA. The program shows the easiest ways to propagate tropical food staples such as cassava, taro, sorghum, true yams, plantains and bananas. We’ll also show how these plants can be processed and how to prepare meals and snacks using these valuable fruits, foots and canes. Tropical plants need shelter from freezing temperatures but are otherwise surprisingly easy to propagate and care for. DVD #3624 © 2010 28 min. $119.00

Propagation Vol. 8: World Food Crops — Roots

Roots are one of the most nutritional foods on earth, still so many easy-to-grow and delicious root crops never make it to the market. This program presents step-by-step propagation techniques for common as well as unusual root crops grown and eaten throughout the world. In addition to carrots, radishes and beets, we'll introduce students to some of the wild edible roots found in the U.S. Learn about propagation methods for root and tuber crops of the Andes mountain range. South American roots such as oca, mashua and maca are easy to grow in temperate climates since they come from the higher, cooler elevations of the rugged Andes. As a bonus we'll show new techniques (not covered in previous volumes) for growing potatoes and sweet potatoes- two of the most important crops in the world. DVD #3611 © 2010 28 min. $119.00
