Crop Wild Relatives

Farmers from Colpar in central Peru share their preferences for potatoes with researchers from the International Potato Center and Grupo Yanapai. Ultimately, the farmers will decide which potato varieties they plant in their fields so researchers are eager to get them involved early on in the selection process.

At Estancia Los Niños, Rene Milicevic shows us one of the three 60+ year old alfalfas that Jorge Ivelic from INIA collected in Magallanes [growing behind the ‘daisy’]. This unique sample is now included in the Crop Wild Relatives pre-breeding trials at INIA Kampenaike. Tolerance to drought and frost are traits that researchers are looking for in Magallanes. In the central part of Chile, researchers are searching for drought and heat tolerance.
