Liquid Culture Systems for in vitro Plant Propagation

Potentials for cost reduction 411
Number of operators on workstation
Number of workers in culture handling
Total number of workers used (H+I+J)
Number of cultures produced per worker
Ratio of production of cultures per worker in
new/old model i.e. L (new)/L (old)
Production of No. of plants x 1000: No. of
cultures in New Model (D) x 1.6; No. of
cultures in old model (D) x 1.16
Ratio of production capability of plants x 1000
in new/old model I.e. N (New)/N (Old)
