Deadline for tissue culture orders is 15 November

By Christine Walker

As we approach the planting season for Spring 2026, we want to remind everyone that the deadline for placing orders for SRA tissue culture is quickly approaching. Please ensure that your orders are submitted by close of business on 15 November 2025.

Choosing seedlings produced from our tissue culture program offers numerous advantages. These seedlings are certified free from disease and undergo rigorous DNA testing, ensuring that you receive healthy and robust plants. This method not only enhances the quality of the seedlings but also enables growers to maximise productivity by facilitating the rapid adoption of new varieties that can improve yields and overall performance in the field.

To assist you in determining how many seedlings you may need, we have developed a handy calculator. This tool will help streamline your ordering process and ensure that you have the right amount of stock for your planting needs.

For any queries or further assistance, please reach out to Visu Wickramasinghe, SRA’s Tissue Culture Manager, at vwickramasinghe@sugarresearch.com.au   or call her directly at 0429 390 217.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter, and we look forward to supporting your planting efforts for the upcoming season!
