INTRODUCTION :- Suran, also known as Elephant Foot Yam, is an important tuber crop valued for its nutritional and medicinal properties. Conventional propagation through corms is slow and limited due to low multiplication rate and high risk of disease transmission. Plant tissue culture offers an efficient alternative for mass multiplication of disease-free, high-yielding Suran plants.
EXPLANT CAN USE :-
corm buds
shoot tip
PROPAGATION OF SURAN :-
After discussion with Dixit Sir, the plan is to do plant tissue culture of suran by taking it from the market, cutting it into equal sizes, and planting it in the soil.
We bought 2 kg of suran from the market, cut it into 4 pieces, and planted them in the soil.
