The Agricultural Technical Institute for Seed Potato

inov3PT's missions is to provide solutions and innovations to the players in the sector (seed potato growers and Growers Organisations, laboratories, breeders, technicians, experimenters, etc...) in order to consolidate the strenghts of the French seed potato but also to  transfer the results and develop their impact.

inov3PT also provides reference services, technical support, expertise and training, both nationally and internationally.

​

inov3PT is financed by seed potato growers and, as an agricultural technical institute,  also benefits from a CasDAR grant as part of the National Agricultural and Rural Development Programme (PNDAR).

The Pseudomonas sp. PA14H7 strain has previously shown interesting activity against the bacteria responsible for blackleg and soft rot in potatoes.

 

Further understanding of this strain is essential to optimise its use as a biocontrol agent.

Phylea project

​

Knowing the age of tubers

​

Against a backdrop of climate change and the withdrawal of synthetic sprout inhibitors, defining the physiological age of tubers is becoming essential for better management of decisions on planting, storage instructions, processing and marketing. The main aim of the Phylea project is to identify a rapid tool for predicting this physiological state.

Selecting and predicting resistance

​

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) and genomic selection (GS) are key assets in the creation of late blight-resistant varieties. If these advantages are to be maintained, it is essential that they are combined with the other tools available.

A late blight action plan​

​

As part of the new Ecophyto 2030 strategy, the government has entrusted the industry, via PARSADA, with the task of identifying concrete cases of active ingredient withdrawals and establishing a ‘360° diagnosis’ of knowledge and alternative methods. In the potato sector, a late blight action plan will be drawn up.

IPM focused on variety​

​

Launched on 3 and 4 October 2024, the European IPMorama project brings together seventeen partners for four years. Its aim is to strengthen integrated crop protection (IPM) for potatoes, wheat and grain legumes against their bio-aggressors, by placing the variety at the heart of the strategies.
