Farming System Section

The Potato Research Unit in the Farming System Section develops several applied research activities. The Laboratory of Virology is first of all a tool for the routine detection by DAS ELISA of the main potato viruses in the framework of the National Potato Seed Certification Programme. This laboratory possess the ISO 17025 accreditation and performs about 120000 tests / year. Our research activities related to the potato viruses topic are focused on the epidemiology of PVY with the aim of delivering to the growers the best informations to reduce the impact of the virus:
- effects of aphids population on the PVY dissemination in potato seeds fields (PVY pressure index),
- spatio – temporal dissemination of PVY in potato fields,
- fighting strategies against the PVY dissemination using insecticides and/or mineral oils,
- the use of genetic ressources in breeding programs
More widely, our research activities concern several fields of the potato chain:
- development and application of Decision Support Systems for a better management at the farm level (Late Blight, Aphids),
- production techniques of initial material (minitubers, vitrotubers, rooted and acclimatized plantlets), production and selling of this material,
- new cultivars production and evaluation,
- new evaluation techniques for the quality use of the potato, routine evaluation in the framework of breeding programs, certification of trade marks, National Catalog,...
