The low propagation coefficient of potato (about ten depending on the propagation method used) limits the amount of planting material available at each stage of selection and is one reason that potato breeding is relatively slow (at least 8–10 years and usually more, from crossing until variety...
By Régis Umurengezi of The New Times – Nine banks and other financial institutions in the country will, effective next planting season, start issuing various financial services to Irish potato cooperatives through a new mobile telephone platform. Dubbed ‘Mpuzanunguke Kirayi’, the platform will...
Two weeks after planting, potato and tobacco plants were treated with 10 mL of cell suspension of Klebsiella oxytoca (CFU 10−7) 4 days before virus inoculation. PVYNTN was mechanically inoculated on potato and tobacco leaves [23]. The first treatment included potato or tobacco plants ...
In the first planting season, the highest crude protein values for both cultivars were shown when they were exposed to the 1:1 FA-AMD treatment (Table 1). This observed growth inhibition in both cultivars could be attributed possibly to phyto-accumulation of heavy metals in plant organs. In ...
Potato farmers in Europe are grappling with significant challenges this season due to adverse weather and rising costs. Bad weather, including heavy rain, has delayed planting and harvesting, exacerbating the effects of an already insufficient seed supply and elevated prices. The European potato product...

(TPSs). Planting of certified seed potatoes with low levels of virus infections has now become the main element in the fight against viral diseases. Breeding for virus resistance has been intensively used at least since 1925 for PLRV, and sources of resistance in many wildSolanumspp. have ...
presenting an all-potato dinner to high-society guests (the story goes that Thomas Jefferson, one of the guests, was so delighted he introduced French fries to America); supposedly persuading the king and queen to wear potato blossoms; and planting 40 acres of potatoes at the edge of Paris,...
prophylactic fungicide sprays before the appearance of symptoms, curative fungicide sprays and use of resistant cultivars to reduce the rate of disease development, use of early-maturing cultivars to reduce the duration of the epidemic, or planting the crop in seasons or areas where the environment ...
