Accomplishments

The Potato Variety Development multi-state project continues to be extremely productive! During the past year named varieties have come out of the program. Varieties developed through this effort have resulted in the majority of potato acreage in the western US converted to material from WERA027. The yields in Texas, for example, have doubled since 1973 when Texas joined the group. Each state has a significant role to play in the work and each state looks for new material to meet the expressed needs of growers. As work continues, the new material will have reduced requirements for pesticides, reduced fertilizer inputs and virus resistance. The work on this MSP is a classical example of cooperative efforts between state research and extension, federal (ARS) research and the private sector. Material tested in this program finds its way into national testing trials and their material competes very effectively with any program in the country. The programs generating new material from plant breeding are keeping the pipeline full for many years to come. They have expanded beyond Russet lines to yellow, blue and purple flesh, red and chipper lines. The attendance this year was at 27 people from the US and Canada.

Impacts

  1. Investigators: M. Isabel Vales, Jeff McMorran and Solomon Yilma. Project Title: Crop Science Extension and Foundation Seed Production. Funding Agency: Agricultural Research Foundation Proposal. Oregon Potato Commission. Total Amount: $12,000. Effective date: 7/1/2006 - 6/30/2007 (Proposal also funded in 2005 at the same level).
  2. Investigators: M. Isabel Vales and Solomon Yilma. Project Title: Potato Breeding and Variety Development Funding Agency: Agricultural Research Foundation Proposal. Oregon Potato Commission. Total Amount: $24,000. Effective date: 7/1/2006 - 6/30/2007 (Proposal also funded in 2005 at the same level).
  3. Investigators: Clint Shock, Dan Hane, Brian Charlton, Steven James, M. Isabel Vales. Project Title: Oregon Potato Variety Development Program. Funding Agency: Agricultural Research Foundation Proposal. Oregon Potato Commission. Total Amount: $25,000. Effective date: 7/1/2006 - 6/30/2007 (Proposal also funded in 2005 at the same level).
  4. Investigators: M. Isabel Vales. Project Title: Breeding and Testing Potato Germplasm for the Pacific Northwest Funding Agency: USDA-ARS Cooperative Agreement No. 58-5354-1-406. Total Amount: $39,778. Effective date: 4/1/2006 - 3/31/2007 (Proposal also funded in 2005 at approx. the same level).
  5. Investigators: N. Richard Knowles, Mark J. Pavek, M. Isabel Vales, and Jeffrey C. Stark. Project Title: Potato Variety Development and Improvement in the Northwest Funding Agency: USDA/CSREES Special Research Grants Program, Potato Research. Total Amount: $600,000 ($200,000 OSU portion). Effective date: 4/1/2006 (pending) (Proposal funded in 2005 at approx. the same level).
  6. The development of high yield and high quality potato varieties with resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses allows producing potatoes under more cost-effective, environmental friendly and healthier conditions by using fewer inputs of chemical fertilizers, fungicides and insecticides and at the same time increasing the nutritional value and quality of the crop.
  7. Varieties recently released by the Tri-state program are now produced on over 110,000 acres with value to growers placed at approximately $150 million. This value can increase up to 3 times after processing.
  8. In Oregon, 2004, potatoes were planted in 37,000 acres. The total production was 19.8 mill cwt and the value was $91.6 million. http://oregon.gov/ODA/docs/pdf/pubs/ff.pdf). The Oregon breeding program has been estimated to return $5.6 million annually to local and state economies (see also Oregon Invests -- http://oregoninvests.css.orst.edu/htmls/FMPro).
  9. The University of California Intermountain Research and Extension Center developed a new market class of baby or salad potatoes. Formed and worked with grower cooperatives to develop this new market (member growers represent 80% of the potato production in this region). This value added product promises much greater returns to the grower over returns based upon traditional commodity prices.
  10. Several releases of potato cultivars that address industry needs have been released over the past 5 years. These releases all originated from crosses by the USDA-ARS Aberdeen Breeding program and were cooperatively developed with the Tri-State Potato Variety Development Program. Together they account for 3050 certified seed acres in the U.S. in 2005 (excluding Willamette, no acres produced), and Alturas and Summit Russet account for 2.3% of the major fall planted cultivars in the U.S. in 2005. Success in pest resistance has also been realized with Defender which represents the first processing cultivar with foliar and tuber late blight resistance available to the industry.
  11. Twelve improved varieties have been released from the Texas Potato Breeding and Variety Development Program.
  12. All russet potatoes grown in Texas in 2005 were improved Texas Russet Norkotah strains. In 1973, the average yield of the summer crop in Texas was about 200 Cwt/A. In 2004, the average summer crop yield was 440 Cwt/A, the highest in the nation. The farm gate value has grown from less than $20 million to about $70 million with an annual economic impact to the state estimated to exceed $150 million.
  13. Since 1975, 16 potato cultivars and 5 clonal selections were released by Colorado State University. These materials accounted for 51% of the 12,813 acres of Colorado certified seed. Releases accounted for 49% of the 58,200 acres of 2005 fall potatoes. Three of the top ten potato cultivars produced for seed in the U.S. were from the Colorado program. Many of these cultivars have reduced nitrogen and fungicide requirements.
