1.

Aeroponic Technology

· Aeroponics is a soilless potato minituber production technology that ensures high-quality seed production free from soil-borne and other diseases, as it is practiced under controlled conditions.

· It allows rapid multiplication, producing a much higher number of minitubers per plant compared to conventional methods.

· Easy to operate & can be installed in non-arable and water scarce areas. Minimises contact with many soil borne pathogens of potato.

· The technology significantly improves both the quality and availability of seed potatoes, thereby strengthening the seed system.

· The technology has been licensed to 45 seed growers and entrepreneurs across India, leading to an enhancement in quality seed production and availability by nearly 30% nationwide.

Kufri FryoM

· It produces white cream oblong tubers with shallow eyes and white flesh. It possesses very good keeping quality and moderate tuber dry matter (20%) and low reducing sugar (<150 mg/100).

· The variety yields 30-35 t/ha and >80% processing grade tubers. Till date French fry processors had no other option than to opt for exotic processing varieties and thereby paying the huge royalties.

· Therefore, the efforts were made to develop an indigenous early maturing French fry variety.

· It has been licensed and being liked by the processor and licensed to 23 entrepreneurs.
