0 the short underground growth of particular plants from which the new stem grows each year
Portland sago is made from the corms of some of these plants.
Some tubers are very bulb-like in appearance, as the corms of crocus and gladiolus.
The flowers, when taken from the corm, should be lifted by a smart pull.
These small corms may be taken off in the spring and sown thickly in drills.
Whichever method is adopted, the crown of the corm should be left about four inches beneath the surface.
Damage, estimated as percentage corm tissue consumed by larvae, was similar among treatments.
Thus, damage to the corm periphery is not a strong predictor of the more important damage to the central cylinder.
These use not only different scoring systems, but evaluate damage on different parts of the banana corm.
