Description of the subject. Measures against regulated non-quarantine pests (RNQPs) aim to prevent an unacceptable economic impact on the intended use of plants for planting by pests that are already present in the area. Therefore unlike quarantine pests, the likelihood of introduction of RNQPs is not a relevant criterion. Although the term RNQP was introduced in the FAO International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) in 1997, to date, very few countries in the EPPO region have used the RNQP concept explicitly. However, in December 2016, the European Union introduced RNQPs in EU Regulation 2016/2031 on protective measures against pests of plants, in line with international standards, to be implemented by December 2019. Objectives. EPPO undertook a 2-year project, funded by the European Commission, to develop a methodology to assess whether pests should be RNQPs and apply this methodology to pest/host/intended use combinations obtained from Council Directive 2000/29/EC and EU Marketing Directives on reproductive material. Method. A methodology allowing a quick risk analysis was developed. Results. This methodology was applied to approximately 1,400 pest/host/intended use combinations within different Sector expert working groups, including 44 combinations for the seed potato (i.e. potato plants for planting) sector. When applied to blackleg disease on seed potatoes, experts recommended the listing of the genera Dickeya and Pectobacterium as RNQPs for the EU and the EPPO region. Conclusions. This project has produced a harmonized evaluation process and recommendations by experts for several pest/host/intended use combinations (as Dickeya spp. and Pectobacterium spp. for seed potatoes) for regulation as RNQPs throughout the EPPO region. EPPO is now considering whether to endorse these recommendations.

High quality seed potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) supply has failed to meet the growing demand estimated at 250,000 metric tonnes from 161,000 ha of ware potato for cultivation by 600,000-800,000 small-scale farmers in Kenya. Increased investments by private seed potato multipliers could alleviate the shortage of seed potato by enhancing availability and accessibility to quality seed, and bridging the supply that currently meets less than 5% of the demand. The objective of this study was to investigate factors that influence agripreneurs’ investment decisions and level of investment in clean seed potato enterprise in the highlands of the Rift Valley, Kenya. The study was conducted through a cross-sectional survey of 380 agripreneurs. The Double hurdle (Craggit) model analysis revealed that training, frequency of extension services, family history in seed potato business, years spent in school and selling price, significantly (P<.05) influenced the probability of agripreneurs’ decision to invest in clean seed potato enterprises in the highlands of Kenya. Initial land size put under seed potato production at the commencement of the enterprise, higher annual household income, number of cropping seasons, total land under seed potato and group membership fee also significantly (P <.05) influenced the decision and level of investment in clean seed potato enterprise.

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram avaliar a eficiência fotossintética e a produção hidropônica de minitubérculos de batata, em função das concentrações da solução nutritiva e das épocas de cultivo. O experimento foi conduzido em telado, em sistema hidropônico fechado com areia como substrato, durante os cultivos de outono e primavera de 2005. As concentrações da solução nutritiva de 0,5, 1, 1,5, 2 e 2,5 dS m-1 constituíram os tratamentos, dispostos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com três repetições. Foram determinados: a massa de matéria seca total da parte aérea e de tubérculos; a massa de matéria fresca e o número de tubérculos; a eficiência fotossintética e os índices de área foliar e de colheita. A diluição da concentração da solução nutritiva pode ser utilizada em sistema hidropônico fechado, com areia como substrato, sem prejuízos para a produção de tubérculos. A eficiência fotossintética atinge maiores valores no plantio de primavera e depende da concentração da solução nutritiva.The objectives of this work were to evaluate photosynthetic efficiency and hydroponic production of potato minitubers, in different concentrations of nutrient solution and growing seasons. The experiment was carried out inside a screenhouse, in a closed hydroponic system with sand as growing media, during fall and spring of 2005. The nutrient solution concentrations of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 dS m-1 were compared as treatments, in a completely randomized experimental design, with three replications. Total, shoot and tuber dry mass, tuber fresh weight and number, photosynthetic efficiency and indexes of leaf area and harvest were determined. Tuber yield is not affected by reducing nutrient solution concentration in a closed hydroponic system, with sand as growing media. Photosynthetic efficiency is maximized during spring growing season and depends upon nutrient solution concentration.

Seed potato degeneration, the reduction in yield or quality caused by an accumulation of pathogens and pests in planting material due to successive cycles of vegetative propagation, has been a long-standing production challenge for potato growers around the world. In developed countries this problem has been overcome by general access to and frequent use of seed, produced by specialized growers, that has been certified to have pathogen and pest incidence below established thresholds, often referred to as certified seed. The success of certified seed in developed countries has concentrated the research and development agenda on the establishment of similar systems in developing countries. Despite these efforts, certified seed has had little penetration into the informal seed systems currently in place in most developing countries. Small-scale farmers in these countries continue to plant seed tubers acquired through the informal seed system, i.e. produced on-farm or acquired from neighbours or local markets. Informal seed tubers frequently have poor health status, leading to significant reductions in yield and/or market value. This review emphasizes the need to refocus management efforts in developing countries on improving the health status of seed tubers in the informal system by integrating disease resistance and on-farm management tools with strategic seed replacement. This 'integrated seed health strategy' can also prolong the good health status of plants derived from certified seed, which would otherwise be diminished due to potential rapid infection from neighbouring fields. Knowledge gaps, development challenges and impacts of this integrated seed health strategy are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A technique developed at the Department of Plant Biotechnology EVIKA of the Estonian Research Institute of Agriculture to multiply disease-free potato seed tubers involves growing plantlets in vitro in plastic rolls on peat before transplanting them to the field. The effects of the method of multiplication, variety, and experimental year on tuber yield were investigated. Plants cultured in vitro from micro-plants were compared with plants grown from tip- and stem-cuttings, and truncated plants that had served as a source of the mentioned cuttings. Two late-maturing potato varieties, Ants and Vigri, were used. The multiplication method, variety, and environmental factors significantly affected the number of tubers per plant and average weight of a tuber. Whereas plants cultured in vitro consistently produced substantially greater numbers of tubers and they were the right size to serve as seed tubers, plants from tip- and stem-cuttings produced fewer tubers and the size of full-grown tubers was too large for seed-production. Truncated plants fell between the two. For seed-potato growing perspectives, the plants from in vitro and truncated plants are the most applicable. Growing tip-and stem-cuttings, the shorter growth period to achieve suitable-sized seed tubers should be adapted. Differences between multiplication methods were smaller in the case of Vigri, which tends to produce more shoots. It is concluded that multiplication methods that result in more shoots per plant also lead to more and smaller tubers. Environmental conditions affected both the number and weight: the dry year, when conditions for growth were adverse, reduced the effect of other factors on the number of tubers whereas near-optimal growth conditions intensified the effect of those factors on tuber weight.

Abstract: Potato microtubers produced in vitro of the cultivar ‘Superior’ were assessed to decide up to what size it can be used for the seed potato with respect to storability, dormancy period, and sprouting vigor. The larger microtubers lost moisture content more slowly and retained firmness longer when stored at 4°C. In the sprouting test, the larger ones had less period of dormancy and showed more vigorous sprouting ability. The starch increased with increasing size of the microtuber and showed the distribution of about 70–80% of dry matter content. The amounts of sugars were positively co-related with the size of the potato. The internal factors such as dry matter and carbohydrate content reveal that potato microtuber follows the field-grown potatoes in all aspects. The results suggest that the size of microtubers can be used as an index for grading their quality as seed potatoes, and the size of the microtuber should be at least 0.5g to be used as seed potato.

A batata-semente é comercializada no Brasil em diferentes tamanhos, conforme determinação do MAPA, variando do tipo 0 (zero), com tubérculos acima de 60 mm, até o tipo V, com tubérculos menores que 23 mm. Neste trabalho, foi avaliado o efeito do tamanho do tubérculo da batata-semente na manifestação da murcha bacteriana nas cultivares Agata, BRS Ana, Asterix e Bintje, em campo naturalmente infestado com Ralstonia solanacearum, em Brasília-DF. Foram usados tubérculos pequenos, médios e grandes, com aproximadamente 30, 50 e 90 mm em média, tamanhos correspondentes respectivamente aos tipos IV, II e 0 das normas do MAPA. Diferenças significativas quanto à incidência da doença foram encontradas entre cultivares: BRS Ana e Asterix não diferiram entre si e foram mais resistentes que Agata e Bintje que, por sua vez, tampouco diferiram entre si. As diferenças entre tamanhos de tubérculos e as interações entre cultivar e tamanho de tubérculos não foram significativas. Portanto concluiu-se que o tamanho de tubérculos dentro dos limites avaliados neste trabalho, não interferiu na manifestação da doença em testes de avaliação para resistência à murcha bacteriana.Potato seed tubers in Brazil are commercialized in different sizes as determined by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply. The sizes are classified in types, which vary from type 0 (zero), tubers above 60 mm, up to type V, tubers below 23 mm. In this work, we evaluated the influence of seed tuber size on the incidence of bacterial wilt on cultivars Agata, BRS Ana, Asterix, and Bintje, grown in a field naturally infested with Ralstonia solanacearum, in Brasilia, Brazil. We used small, medium and large tubers, measuring in average 30, 50 and 90 mm, which correspond respectively to types IV, II and 0 according to the Brazilian legislation. Significant differences in bacterial wilt incidences were detected among cultivars: BRS Ana and Asterix did not differ from each other and were more resistant than Agata and Bintje, which formed a statistically homogeneous pair. Differences on the seed tuber size and interactions between cultivars and tuber size were not significant. Therefore, the seed tuber size, within the limits covered in this paper, have no effect on disease incidence in field screening for potato resistance to the bacterial wilt.
