Researchers are addressing many of the challenges faced by the potato industry, from viruses to improved breeding methods. The 2017 Poster Session Jan 4 – 6 provides the opportunity to learn about what leading scientists are doing to tackle knowledge gaps in the potato industry. Discuss one-on-one with leading researchers how their findings can help you overcome breeding, field and marketing hurdles. The just announced 2017 posters, coordinated by the Potato Association of America, will include a great number of sessions.
