The National Institute of Agrarian Innovation (INIA), a branch of Peru's Agriculture Ministry, presented today the INIA 309 potato -also known as Serranita Ecologica (Ecological Serranita)- which uses fewer pesticides during its cultivation, turning it into an environmentally responsible alternative.

The "Serranita"potato requires only four to five applications of preventive fungicides, while other varieties such as the Canchan or Yungay require 8 to 16 applications.
