#New potato variety developed with increased resistance to blight Potatoes are one of the most important crops in the world, providing sustenance to millions of people. However, potato farming is constantly facing new challenges, and one of the most significant of these is potato blight. Blight is caused by a fungus-like organism called Phytophthora infestans and can cause plants to wilt, develop dark patches, and eventually die. The disease can cause devastating losses for farmers and gardeners, with some fields losing up to 80% of their crops.

Potential to Improve Yield in Potato Farming Potato farming has come a long way in the past few decades, with advances in technology and techniques leading to increased yield and profitability for farmers around the world. However, there is still plenty of room for improvement, as researchers and industry experts continue to explore new ways to optimize potato cultivation and harvest. One area of focus for potato farmers is soil health.
