Adaptation and utilization of advanced virus-resistant clones and TPS in CAC |
|
Provide Caucasus farmers with high-yielding, early and mid-early potato varieties, adapted to long day conditions and resistant to Late Blight. more |
Enhanced food and income security in SWCA through potato varieties with improved tolerance to abiotic stress |
|
To increase food and income security of resource-poor farmers in SWCA by reducing their vulnerability to abiotic stresses affecting crop production. more |
Selection of Late blight (Phytophthora infestans) resistant clones |
|
Provide Caucasus farmers with high-yielding, early and mid-early potato varieties, adapted to long day conditions and resistant to Late Blight. more |
Strengthening formal and informal seed systems in CAC |
|
To improve quality of seed potatoes produced by the formal and informal sector in CAC. Evaluate cost-effective rapid multiplication techniques as part of seed-production schemes for potato. Role of positive and negative selection combined with disease-detection techniques evaluated and documented. TPS technology diffused in the highlands of CA. Potato pest and virus surveys implemented in at least one country (Uzbekistan). more |
