Editing Sisal (section)

===Propagation===
Propagation of sisal is generally by using [[bulbils]] produced from buds in the flower stalk or by [[suckers (botany)|suckers]] growing around the base of the plant, which are grown in nursery fields until large enough to be transplanted to their final positions. These methods offer no potential for genetic improvement. ''[[In vitro]]'' multiplication of selected genetic material using [[Meristem|meristematic tissue culture]] offers considerable potential for the development of improved genetic material.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.unido.org/index.php?id=o8447 |title=UNIDO |access-date=2013-11-09}}</ref>
