Descripción del Evento

Each year, Agriculture and Agri-food Canada presents its new potato selections in the Accelerated Release Program and solicits commercial partners to license (phase one) or bid (phase two) for any of these potato selections.

Using a combination of traditional crop breeding techniques, as well as new and emerging technologies, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) releases to the marketplace up to 10-15 new potato selections annually.

These annual releases have been carefully chosen from a starting population that may number 120,000 new seedlings.

This event is held on the same day in three different locations:

Fredericton Research and Development Centre
850 Lincoln Road
Fredericton, New Brunswick

Guelph Research & Development Centre/ University of Guelph
95 Stone Road
Guelph, Ontario

Lethbridge Research and Development Centre
5403 1st Avenue South
Lethbridge, Alberta

Please note that lunch will be provided.
