Kleentek Greenhouse:
Selected varieties are housed in greenhouses, protecting them from infection caused by environmental pressure and insects. This foundation is then used as a donor for the production of virus-free clones.
For over 30 years, sugar cane growers in Louisiana, Florida, Texas and around the world have relied on our “clean seed” process to produce sugarcane free of systemic diseases that impact production. Kleentek features unique technology that prepares tissue culture for disease-free sugarcane growing stocks.
Through cooperation with sugar cane breeding programs at Louisiana State University Agriculture Center, the American Sugarcane League and Agriculture Research Station in Florida and Louisiana, Kleentek processes and expands “in demand” cane varieties for use throughout the world. Here’s how.
Selected varieties are housed in greenhouses, protecting them from infection caused by environmental pressure and insects. This foundation is then used as a donor for the production of virus-free clones.
The Kleentek laboratory, located at Louisiana State University, produces as many as 100,000 plantlets per year. Bare-root plantlets can be shipped from our laboratory locally, across the USA and internationally.
Kleentek plantlets are increased vegetatively to meet the demands of growers. Seed farms are utilized to grow and assist in the distribution of Kleentek seed cane
Kleentek’s program conforms to and surpasses all rules and guidelines necessary for seed certification in states that require such
Kleentek distributes seed cane in Florida and Louisiana by truck to farms across industries. Kleentek also ships bare-root plantlets by carrier services to sugar industries worldwide.
Louisiana is the only state that requires certification per Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. Although no other states require certification, Kleentek uses the same stringent Louisiana guidelines in all material produced.
