Development of potato breeding research for creation new potato varieties for procesing at station for research and development of potato Targu Secuiesc

Potato, from the breeding point of view, presents the following biological physiological specific features: vegetative multiplication, heterogeneity of progenitors’, large plasticity, sterility, incompatible to hybridization, excessive sensibility to diseases. The first three specific features advantage the breeding process on a large scale, but the last two thus complicates the breeding activity and constitutes important problems to success.The breeding of potato has as permanent objective the obtaining new varieties with high yield capacity, with high resistance to diseases and pest, with high quality, which have to give the satisfaction to consumers.The creation of new potato varieties is a continue process, which has to take into account the change of ecological conditions, with increase of aggressively and pathogenity of diseases and pest, apparition of rases, stems, brotypes, pathotipes, as well as the continue increasing of consumers demands.
