WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE WORLD OF RUBUS BREEDING? |

| Abstract:
“Only one more generation” has been the breeder’s cry in the past, the present and will continue in the future. As we look around the world, we are faced with many of the same challenges we have always faced as the industry needs cultivars with excellent quality, higher yield, greater pest resistance and adaptation. We rely on a mixture of strong science, a keen eye and traditional breeding approaches to meet these demands. As we move forward, old issues are resurfacing, new problems are arising, and whole new production systems, business systems, and production areas are being developed and will soon dominate parts of the industry. As breeders, we are asked to meet these demands with new cultivars. | |
