EmailTrainings to support upcoming confined field trials in Indonesia focus on data collection.
Collection of data for regulatory submission is the most important part of the 3R-gene late bllight resistant confined field trials ongoing in all partner countries of the Global Biotech Potato Partnership.
A workshop was recently held in Tosari, Indonesia to train trial workers on the proper procedures and guidelines for conducting these field trials for the Granola variety of the late blight resistant potato. Granola is the farmer preferred variety in Indonesia.
The project is currently under the confined field trial research phase in which key data will be collected and compiled for submission to the Indonesian biotechnology regulatory authorities for eventual commercialization and release to smallholder farmers throughout Indonesia.
The training was led the Global Biotech Potato Partnership Indonesian research team comprised of members from the Research Center for Horticultural and Estate Crops (RCHEC) of the Research Organization for Agriculture and Food (ROAF-BRIN) and the Research Center for Genetic Engineering (RCGE) of the Research Organization for Life Sciences and Environment (ROLSE-BRIN).
