Kleentek Process

Sugarcane Tissue Culture

Solving for Disease Challenges Facing Sugarcane Crops With Natural Innovation

For over 30 years, sugarcane growers in Louisiana, Florida, Texas and around the world have relied on our “clean seed” process to produce sugarcane free of systemic diseases that impact production. Kleentek features unique technology that prepares tissue culture for disease-free sugarcane growing stocks. Through cooperation with sugarcane breeding programs at Louisiana State University Agriculture Center, the American Sugarcane League and Agriculture Research Station in Florida and Louisiana, Kleentek processes and expands “in demand” cane varieties for use throughout the world.  

Additionally, our Kleentek technology produces energycane, which provides low sugar/high fiber sugarcane for biomass or cellulose production, as well as tissue culture expansion of Louisiana sweet potato varieties. Expanding virus-free plants in tissue culture helps provide quicker establishment of healthy seed plants for growers throughout the industry.
