National Seed Potato Workshop Presentations

Dr Barry O Reilly, Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, addressed the conference about the new EU regulations governing seed certification and also the standards seed must pass to qualify in each seed category and grade. The workshop was joined by Dr Jan van der Wolf, an international expert on the potato disease Blackleg from Wageningen University. Dr. van der Wolf outlined the importance of blackleg in an Irish context and gave solid recommendations to help farmers deal the disease. Dr Denis Griffin, Teagasc, Oak Park outlined how growers should focus on specialised seed potato production, rather than dual cropping, and outlined the major steps to achieving this. Poster sessions included information on Virus and potato cyst nematode and blight.
