| Özet |
| Potato is one of the most important agricultural crops with approximately 5 million tones production on 160 000 ha planting area annually, in Turkey. Annual potato seed demand is around 450000 tones in the country. However, there is no regular seed potato production system in the country and usage of certified potato seed accounts only 10% of the total annual demand of the country. The potato cultivars, which were bred in Europe or North America, are used in the country, and seed supply system depends on multiplication of imported seed. A project was started to establish a “National Potato Seed Production System” with the cooperation of research institutes, universities and private sector under coordination of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in 2005. The project has consisted of three sub-projects:(1) Determination of the most suitable seed potato production areas,(2) Development of the basic seed production programs,(3) Development of potato cultivar breeding programs. Each subproject also consists of several work packages. The aim of the project is not definitely close the country to enter of foreign cultivars or seed tubers, but it is aimed to enlarge the usage of certified seed in potato production. The project will be conducted as three-year terms and the first term will terminate at the end of 2008. In the first term, we planned to collect fundamental knowledge about characteristics of possible seed areas and to build basic infrastructures for basic seed production and cultivar breeding. In this presentation, we will give the brief evaluation of the first term of the project. |
