Ahorro de semillas
Las semillas, naturalmente, tienen un lugar en casi cualquier esfuerzo relacionado con el desarrollo agrícola. Las semillas de la mayoría de las plantas alimenticias son pequeñas y, como tales, se transportan más fácilmente y se pueden enviar a distancias más largas que los esquejes vegetativos. Para el agricultor, las semillas representan la promesa de un suministro continuo de alimentos.
