The @CropTrust #BOLDcwr team of @Cipotato is conducting trials in the central highlands of #Kenya of #potatoes derived from 29 crosses between crop wild relative-derived hybrids and advanced CIP clones that exhibit late-blight resistance. bold.croptrust.org/crops/potato/
The @CropTrust #BOLDcwr team of @Cipotato #Kenya have completed the harvest of a trial of #potatoes derived from 29 crosses between crop wild relative-derived hybrids and advanced CIP clones exhibiting late-blight resistance. Many promising lines were selected for further trials.
Orange-fleshed sweetpotato has reached millions of households across Africa and Asia. It's nutritious and also climate resilient. @gatesfoundation's impactful support for climate resilient like roots and tuber crops shows results. @Cipotato @CGIAR #climateResilientRootsTuberCrops
The orange-fleshed sweetpotato, on display as part of yesterday’s Farming for our Future breakfast at #COP28, is one of many nutrient-rich crops that we are supporting African scientists to develop for smallholder farmers. The nutrients in this variety of sweetpotato can help
Exciting news for Rwanda's potato industry! The recent RAB Potato Breeding Program Meeting in Kigali was a game-changer. Key stakeholders from Rwanda joined forces to redefine the Potato Market Segment and Target Product Profile, opening up innovative breeding opportunities. 🌱🥔
