On February 20 at 9 a.m. EST, the World Potato Congress (WPC) will have a second webinar featuring Hein Kruyt, CEO of Solynta.
The webinar is titled “What’s All This Talk About Hybrid Breeding and Hybrid True Potato Seeds (HTPS) Revolutionizing The Potato Industry?”.
Kruyt says Hybrid True Potato Seeds (HTPS) technology will disrupt a system that has been in place for over a century. It will allow the industry to be more nimble and responsive to changes in market demands and production environments.
Topics in the presentation:
* The difference between Hybrid TPS (HTPS) and Random TPS (RTPS) including some “Sesame Street” level refresher to the genetics.
* The benefits.
* As healthy starting material, the single most important element for a good crop.
* The possible applications.
* The foreseeable future.
