| For this reason it is desirable to save cormels to develop a constant supply of young, vigorous corms. |
| If the tiny cormels are desired for future propagation, dig carefully and sort by varieties immediately. |
| The lower part of the corm produces numerous roots and several cormels which arise from its axillary buds. |
| The cormels are used for human consumption while the corms are used for animal feeding. |
| Varieties that produce cormels are considered to have a superior flavour and texture. |
| Hot water treatments are an effective way to control nematodes in dormant cormels of dasheen cultivars used for planting. |
