We are a biological technology company producing and selling tissue culture liners on a wholesale level. We now have a total of 92 technicians. Tissue culture is the duplication of the original plant we put into production, and in doing so we have an exact replica of the "mother" plant. We clone plants! In our 15,000 sq. ft. laboratory lab technicians using scalpels, microscopes and petri dishes, produce thousands of plants from a single growing tip cut from a superior "mother" plant. Our plants are grown on a gelled nutrient-rich medium with growth regulators. They are grown in vessels and on shelves in a sterile laboratory which is temperature and light controlled. Each plant is disease free and can be virus indexed upon request.

When the plants are large enough to be harvested, they are planted in soil and allowed to root and grow to a height of 3"- 5" in our 78,000 sq. ft. greenhouses. They are then sold as liners in 72 – cell packs.

By using tissue-culture, a single plant can be used to grow limitless numbers of that plant. If researchers develop a hybrid with curative properties, Agri-Starts can mass-produce it.
