What is the PIF technique?

PIF is a technique in which a crosswise incision is made through the apical meristem of a corm, 5 to
40 cm in height, in order to break apical dominance. After a period of drying, to further stress the
corm and help induce lateral growth, the corm is placed in a moist bed of sawdust until plantlets
emerge (Boss, 2008)
