Effectively, this technique is an alternative to potato seed production which is already being implemented in several African countries.<\/p><p>The main topics covered during the training sessions were <br \/>1. Acclimatization of tissue culture plantlets<br \/>2. Technique of production of rooted apical cuttings<br \/>3. Maintenance of juvenility of mother plants <br \/>4.
