"buds"

not entirely sure, no more time to look now.

The Plene system, first announced in 2008, has been going through proving trials since then and should be ready for commercial launch by mid 2011. It is based on the production and planting of sugar cane segments, or buds, which are less than four centimetres in length. Daniel Bachner described how the Plene system offers real benefits in terms of the management of crop protection methods. The buds will be pre-treated with specific seed treatment technologies and other protectants maximising early plant development.
