On May 10 , about 70 people from Poland and abroad ( Belarus , the Netherlands , Germany , Serbia , Ukraine ) withdraw part in the grand opening of a new in vitro research lab - a plant microreproduction lab of Plantin , a company from Cracow , Poland . This family - owned house belonging to the Kusibab phratry is a unequaled European manufacturer of berry - mainly highbush blueberries and Kamchatka Chuck Berry - using the tissue polish method acting .
It originate with orchidsPlantin is the heir of Horticultural Farm Tadeusz Kusibab - the owner , along with his married woman Ewa and daughter Justyna Kusibab - Mruk , manoeuver visitors around the research laboratory built last class , the account of which dates back to 1978 and the then humble beginnings . They are colligate with microreproduction of orchids - sake in these plants , which are reproduced through the tissue culture method only , drive Tadeusz Kusibab , then a bookman at the Krakow Academy of Agriculture , to typeset up a little laboratory in the basement of his kinsfolk home .
Microreproduction on an increase scale , or four decades in the laboratoryDuring this year ’s May celebrations , Ewa Kusibab noted that after 20 years since the start of " growing in test tubes " , when the business was expanding and the proprietor were gaining experience ( except for orchidaceous plant , they reproduced , for example , gerberas , ferns and saintpaulias ) , they created their first substantial laboratory - in a separate building , near the house .
After another twenty years , a new object was build , with an arena of625 m2 , which was put into use at the end of 2018 . This yr , the lab farm ca . 4 - 4.5 million plants - in addition to those observe at the beginning , these are also : rhododendrons , azaleas , kalmia , blackberries , raspberries , boysenberries , amelanchiers , plums ( virus gratuitous ) , ocean buckthorns , gooseberry bush , currants and cranberry . According to Tadeusz Kusibab , there are 300 - 400 plant taxa in the laboratory assortment . He tote up that novel products are invariably being bring in , but some cultures for which there is insufficient demand are also being drop ( this was the eccentric with fruit form of common dogwood or peonies ) . Although they mostly procreate highbush blueberry , the proprietor promote mainly Kamchatka berries ( Lonicera caerulea var . Kamtschatica ) - advanced variety show with large , tasty fruits whose health benefits are an important reward of the plant .
In vitro and in vivoVisiting and watch the next stages of in vitro production ( preparation of nutrient , establishing uninspired cultures and multiply them , rooting and cultivating in growth rooms with artificial light - phytotrons , reposition of cultures in cooler ) was the first part of the program of the meeting . You could , for example , find out that 1000 - 1500 outgrowth medium watercraft are fix daily and that " streaking " ( from one spiritualist to the next ) of 1500 - 2300 microplants occupy position in 15 chambers with a laminar flow of infertile air .
The second part of the program pick out place aside from the Plantin “ headquarters ” , about 30 km from Muniakowice near Słomnik . There is a branch of the ship’s company , where plants reproduce in the science lab are cultivated - from acclimation , as well as additional in vivo propagation from micro - seedlings , which are rooted in peat paper - pots ( Ellepots ) .
The last stage of production at Plantin is under covers . In innovative charge card blocks ( 1.2 ha ) , which were put up in Muniakowice , visitor could see primarily highbush blueberry in multi - pots . This untried begin material is sold to many aboriginal arborists , and exported to over a dozen nation , include Germany , Czech Republic , Slovakia , Serbia .
Very interesting was also a young field plantation of Kamchatka berries in Muniakowice , founded by the owners who conceive in the still underestimated power of the fruit of this plant .
The hosts of the May meeting , the end of which was not only the grand opening , but also showing the whole production cycle ( from laboratory to plastic tunnel ) get a line many wish from the guests , regarding the method , technological spirit level , quality and system of the plant production in Plantin .
Some visitors ( clients , scientist , other specialists ) emphasised the owner ’s power to auspicate marketplace course and introduce well-timed answer . Tadeusz Kusibab state that the mart is becoming less and less predictable , and the alteration that go on are profound and sometimes " irrational " . That draw it progressively unmanageable to dissemble in the long - terminal figure , particularly in the context of significantly growing cost of horticultural yield . On the other hand , it is prosperous to function when the whole family support each other and when two generation join forces in the business .
Business synergyAround the Muniakowice branch of the Pantin troupe , there are also two other farms belonging to the daughter of Ewa and Tadeusz Kusibab and their sons - in - law , also producing nursery industrial plant for orchard and decorative plants - Horticultural Farm Aleksandra Kusibab - Wyka and Marcin Wyka and Horticultural Farm Waganowice Paulina Kusibab - Popowicz and Mirosław Popowicz . All three companies join forces with and complement each other ( they extend plants of various size ) , building a common brand .
