Abstract
"The USDA potato breeding program at Beltsville has four main objectives: (1) to develop improved pest-resistant germplasm and varieties; (2) to develop improved germplasm and varieties for processing; (3) to enhance germplasm for specific characteristics relating to pest resistance, yield environmental stress, human nutrition and consumer acceptance; and, (4) to develop statistical genetic models for some of the new breeding strategies."
