"We are delighted that two of the varieties we bred for Greenvale AP and Grampian Growers have performed so well in these trials"
Two potato varieties bred at the James Hutton Institute in Dundee have been recommended for release in Kenya thanks to the concerted efforts of AHDB, SASA, Seeds2B Africa - part of the Syngenta Foundation - and the Institute’s commercial subsidiary, James Hutton Limited.
Hutton varieties Gemson and Lady Balfour, along with free variety Cara, made the grade after a trial of ten potato varieties at three separate farms over two seasons.
