Teagasc and IPM develop PCN-resistant potato variety

Teagasc and IPM develop PCN-resistant potato variety Teagasc and IPM Potato Group have recently released a new potato variety which is resistant to potato cyst nematode (PCN). PCN is an economically devastating soil pest which can destroy potato crops. ‘Buster’ is a new ware or prepark variety and is resistant to both species of PCN. Its speed of development was greatly assisted by new genomic identification capabilities. Dan Milbourne spoke at this week’s National Tillage Conference about the work of the Virtual Irish Centre for Crop Improvement (VICCI). He explained that Buster combines PCN-resistant genes from five parents. Combining five genes is challenging and using conventional breeding methods may have taken up to 30 years. However, the variety was achieved using a genomic approach called marker assisted selection (MARS).

Teagasc Tillage Month - Teagasc | Agriculture and Food Development Authority

Teagasc Tillage Month Teagasc Tillage Month Welcome to ‘Tillage Month’ during which we will deliver the latest insights on current tillage research plus the most relevant technical advice for tillage farmers through a series of live, interactive webinars. The tillage industry underpins Ireland’s agri-food enterprises through the provision of high quality feed / material for processing, with the sector being the most carbon efficient within Irish agriculture. While the expansive role the cropping sector can play in supporting sustainable food production is clear, the sector faces legislative, environmental and land use challenges that are undermining its economic sustainability. In response, continued innovation and investment in crop improvement and knowledge transfer strategies is essential if we are to improve the resilience of the sector and exploit the significant opportunities that exist to add value for the primary producer in response to consumer preferences
