Rooted apical cuttings technology, Meru
Jane Muthoni Murugu has taken up the challenge to do potato farming since her husband passed on in 2020. Her husband multiplied seed potato from rooted apical cuttings in their farm and Jane is now actively doing the same. She buys her cuttings from her neighbor across the road, Cecinta Nduru who produces them in her net tunnel and has walked with Jane teaching her everything she needs to know about the technology. Jane has now moved into her new house that she says was constructed through proceeds from the sale of seed multiplied through apical cuttings.
