Colombia: High Nitrogen-Use Efficiency in “Papa Criolla” — a Chance to Cut Costs and Ease Ecosystem

In brief. A study by the National University of Colombia (UNAL) found that among more than 100 genotypes of “papa criolla” (the Phureja group, “yema de huevo”), at least five use nitrogen significantly more efficiently. The researchers also highlighted three key genes associated with this trait, opening a path to breeding varieties that require fewer https://potatoes.news/colombia-high-nitrogen-use-efficiency-in-papa-criolla-a-chance-to-cut-costs-and-ease-ecosystem-pressure/potatoes-news/
