However, unless your plants have become really big over the last few weeks, I wouldn't be tempted to let them produce seeds rightaway, this could cost lots of energy from the small plants... Apparently, germination rate on arracacha seeds is quite lowe, and big seeds germinate better than small seeds. You can read a whole story on arracacha in M. Hermann excellent book: Andean roots and tubers: ahipa,arracacha, maca and yacon It can be downloaded from the bioversity site.orflohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01012811737135812741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352076248333591052.post-87902182143467557522010-11-23T11:24:53.200+00:002010-11-23T11:24:53.200+00:00All this success!

The next step is crossing them in with one of the other varieties, but first, let's see if the seeds are viable. And then we can move on to some varieties that need a shorter climate for better production. Oh, does that sound familiar? :-)<br />Some ahipa seeds are beeing produced here, they were greenhouse grown and I hope the'll be viable this time.orflohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01012811737135812741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3352076248333591052.post-35758215994189151752010-11-22T22:50:20.352+00:002010-11-22T22:50:20.352+00:00Viva la revolucion!
