Production of seedling tubers from true potato seed (TPS) in protected area.

The potato (Solanum tuberosum) can be propagated both vegetatively (clonally) and sexually. True potato seed (TPS) technology is based on the natural ability of the potato to produce flowers, which are then fertilized and set berries that contain potato seeds, which will be used later as planting material. Initially, the main problem of potato hybrids derived from true seed was related to the difficulty of producing uniform potatoes in terms of shape, color, size and seed quality. Currently there are companies that produce true potato seed, rigorously tested qualitatively superior (free from diseases and pests).
