Early generation seed starter materials and approaches to seed production: Challenge for improving the potato seed system in Uganda

2024-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Quality seed is one of the key inputs for increasing potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) productivity; however, its limited availability is widely recognized as a major constraint to potato production. In Uganda, certified seed production meets approximately 1.5% of effective demand implying most farmers use home‐saved seed. This practice encourages the buildup of degenerative seed‐borne diseases which ultimately affect...
