b'Hambly Odame adds theres a lot that Canadian growers can learn about agronomy from the work CIP is doing. For example, in countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India, grains are intercropped with potatoes. These regions are suspectable to flooding, but by doing intercropping it has proved potato to be a resilient crop that can survive extreme weather disasters.The nature of the organism itself as a plant is sequestering carbon from the air, so its a very carbon friendly crop, using that to generate a tuber, which becomes a food source, Hambly Odame says. There is huge potential there to also contribute to carbon sequestration, as well as sort of mitigate environmental or other disasters.Its not just research work that could be of help to Canadian growers, but also those doing the research. Hambly Odame points out CIP has a longstanding history and relationships with many potato breeders in Canada. Lots of potato breeders and researchers have worked at the CIP potato gene bank in Lima doing training or have worked in other parts of the world with CIP.According to Heck, CIP has established Investigative assistant, Mariela Yupa, works in the potato section of the International Potato research relationships with universitiesCenter gene bank.PHOTO: INTERNATIONAL POTATO CENTERPlanter FillerLive Bottom Potato Floors- 30- 36 Wide Telescoping Boom Planter - Light Weight Alum. + UHMW DesignFillers and Mini Pillers - Variable Speed Belt Control- Gensets Available for On Field Use - Simple One Peice UnitW: generalmetal.caPh: 1 (866) 325-9374E: [email protected] Even-Flow BinsSelf-Unloading Bulk Beds- 18-30 Length- 800 Bag Capacity- Painted Steel or Stainless Steel - Adjustible Roof System - Several Unloading Belt Options - Available With Stingers- Various Tarp Options - 72 Elevator Belt and 60 Discharge BeltSPUDSMART.COMSummer 202325'
