Multiplication of gerbera by asexual method

After a long period of research, a farmer in ward 3 of Da Lat city, Lam Dong province has successfully propagated the varieties of gerberas by asexual method.

From the genetic resources of long-time gerbera varieties in Lam Dong and some new gerbera varieties introduced into Da Lat from the Netherlands, Japan and Taiwan, Mr. Tran Pham Anh Tuan has created nearly 3,000 New varieties of gerberas.

With this success, from the beginning of 2006 until now, Mr. Tuan has provided over 10,000 new varieties of Gerbera seeds for districts in Da Lat City with the selling price of VND 4,000 / seedling. Meanwhile, the price of these varieties of flowers is provided by a foreign company exclusively from 12-15 thousand VND / tree.

According to the calculation of Da Lat farmers, investing in a hectare of new cashew varieties costs 600 million VND. With the life cycle of trees within 5 years can give total income to 2 billion. The success of gerbera propagation helps reduce investment costs and increase income for farmers.
