PCN resistance among targets of new potato breeding business in the UK
Octubre 01, 2012
Plant breeding business KWS marked its formal entry into potato breeding in the UK last week, with a demonstration of up-and-coming varieties and an outline of its key breeding objectives for the potato crop.

The new KWS potato business has its origins in a joint venture with Dutch fresh produce business Van Rijn, from which it took over the potato division in 2011, ahead of full integration into KWS this year.
