Turning research into resilient crops

Building resilience beyond chemical control

Challenge
Fusarium causes dry rot, leading to severe tuber decay, quality degradation, and major economic losses during storage.

Solution
Resilient varieties, healthy seed and targeted control help reduce disease pressure.

Impact
Protecting crop yields, ensuring long-term storage viability, preserving quality and market.

Building resilience from field to storage

Challenge
Erwinia can affect seed quality, emergence, and crop uniformity.

Solution
Clean seed, robust varieties, and best management practices help minimize risk.

Impact
More uniform crops, stronger establishment, and greater reliability throughout the season.

Building resilience through the right timing

Challenge
Rhizoctonia can affect emergence, root development, and tuber quality

Solution
Resilient varieties, healthy seed, soil stewardship reduce disease impact.

Impact
Faster Immergence and growth, higher quality potatoes, and more consistent results.

Building resilience against soil pests

Challenge
Wireworms can damage tubers and reduce marketable yield.

Solution
Monitoring, crop rotation and risk assessment help protect crops.

Impact
Less tuber damage, higher marketable yield, and greater value at harvest.

Building resilience against virus pressure

Challenge
Virus can reduce yield, tuber quality, and seed value.

Solution
Resistant varieties, certified seed and monitoring help limit infection.

Impact
Healthier plants, improved quality, and more consistent performance.
