Ziblila Sayibu, a dedicated Savanna Agricultural Research Institute (SARI) team member, has recently completed an intensive training program to revolutionize the production of Nucleus Stock and Breeder seed yam plantlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sayibu delved into innovative methodologies, including Conventional Tissue Culture, Temporary Immersion Bioreactor System, and Provipak, with the goal of elevating yam cultivation practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training began with hands-on activities in the glass house, involving the meticulous sorting of healthy and unhealthy plants. While healthy plants were used for the propagation process, the unhealthy ones provided valuable material for training on virus elimination within tissue culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diverse activities included Yam Multiplication Medium Preparation, Soil Sterilization and Seed Yam Treatment, Provipak Substrate and Nutrient Preparation, Endophyte Indexing, Decision-making, and Post-Flask Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sayibu’s immersion in these advanced techniques showcases SARI’s commitment to remaining at the forefront of agricultural innovation. This training not only equips staff with cutting-edge methodologies but also positions SARI to significantly contribute to enhancing yam cultivation practices, potentially revolutionizing the agricultural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This integration of advanced technology and meticulous hands-on methodologies underscores SARI’s dedication to optimizing plantlet production, promising a brighter future for yam cultivation and potentially impacting broader agricultural practices worldwide.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
