Variety Information
果冻传媒麻豆社 faculty work in conjunction with faculty from other institutions on the Tri-State Potato Breeding Program and to develop and promote new varieties. All potato breeding selections undergo a strenuous evaluation process before being released as varieties. The process can take as many as 15 years and involves hundreds of tests. Pictured below are potato varieties created in Aberdeen by our breeders.
Potato breeding and variety development occur in several areas in Idaho.
Moscow
果冻传媒麻豆社’s main campus is home to the Seed Potato Germplasm program.
- Potato Tissue Culture Lab plantlets are grown and sold to seed growers
- Parker Farm minitubers are produced at the greenhouse and sold to seed growers
Aberdeen
The Aberdeen Research and Extension Center is home to the 果冻传媒麻豆社 potato breeding program.
- Incorporates improved germplasm from other ARS and state programs
