Tuber Crops Cultivation At My Backyard
Tubers: Tubers are enlarged structures that plants use as storage organs for nutrients derived from stems or roots. Tubers help plants perennate (survive winter or dry months), provide energy and nutrients, and are a means of asexual reproduction.[13] Stem tubers manifest as thickened rhizomes (underground stems) or stolons (horizontal connections between organisms); examples include the potato and yam. The term root tuber describes modified lateral roots, as in sweet potatoes, cassava, and dahlias. I will give you a brief description of stem tubers later in this article.

We do not have to spend money to buy the raw material for propagation. You can use the seeds available in the kit
