摘要

Providing high-quality potato seed at an affordable price and at the right time remains a major concern for seed-producing agencies worldwide. At present, seed potato production largely relies on the conventional system, which faces several bottlenecks such as a low multiplication rate (1:6), high seed tuber requirement, accumulation of degenerative diseases, perishability, bulkiness, and a slow process of generating 100% healthy seed stock. To address these challenges, rapid multiplication techniques (RMTs) have gained prominence. This review focuses on few new technologies which can transform seed potato production system. Among them, the aeroponic system has high multiplication rate (1:20–80) with challenge of high initial investment and requiring technical skill. Apical rooted cuttings (ARC) and sprout cuttings have shown great potential for large-scale seed multiplication, being both cost-effective and farmer-friendly but more labore intensive. Each ARC cutting can produce 7–10 tubers, and in some cases more than 15, while a well-established sprout cutting can yield 6–11 tubers per sprout. These techniques are also being actively promoted for integration into formal seed potato production systems, with the aim of improving seed availability and accessibility for farmers.
