*3.3.2.2.4 Single node cuttings*

"Single node" cuttings should not be confused with "node cuttings". Single node cuttings are produced under in vivo conditions, while node cuttings are produced under in vitro conditions (previous section) [17, 18]. The single node cuttings technique is often used to produce many seedlings in the first generation of the pre-basic seed production program.

When the produced plants are transplanted into the field, the yield of the tubers can be about 500 g/plant, while the produced tubers have an ideal size of the seed tubers. The process is as follows (**Figure 9**).
