Potato breeding has been performed at the Vokė Branch of the Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture since 1958. The key objective of potato breeding is to produce early potato cultivars immune to wart disease Synchytrium endobioticum (Schilb.), resistant to Globodera rostochiensis (Woll.) pathotype of nematodes and major potato diseases. As a result of the breeding work seven potato cultivars of different maturity have been selected. Based on the high disease and pest resistance records, the cultivars and promising hybrids from this breeding program have been recommended for cultivation on ecological farms.
