Abstract The high-quality potato seed availability in Indonesia always to be attempted continuously by Indonesian governments to encourage national potato production optimization. One of the efforts is through aeroponic potato seed production. The G0 (zero generation seed) aeroponic potato produces a better yield and healthier tuber compare to G0 conventional potato production. IVegRI has undertaken studies related to G0 potato aeroponic. The results have been disseminated and some of them have been adopted by the potato producers in various regions in Indonesia. The study aimed to investigate the potato aeroponic seed production in Indonesia based on the producers’ perception of the benefits and challenges. The study was conducted from April to December 2017, in 8 districts from 6 provinces, engaging 18 G0 aeroponic potato producers. Data were analyzed descriptively. The resulting study showed that G0 aeroponic producers perceived the production of G0 aeroponic potato as more profitable compared to G0 conventional. The advantages covered: the production was higher, the yield tuber was healthier and sterile, and also it could be produced anytime. Meanwhile, challenges faced were: initially investment cost was quite expensive, electricity installation frequently was unstable and, the challenge concocted a suitable potato aeroponic nutrition.

Basic Seed

Pre-basic seed potatoes are disease free potato minitubers produced by transplanting pathogen free in vitro potato plantlets under protected condition in aphid-proof glasshouse  and/or screen house. Double antibody sand witched - enzyme linked immuno-sorbant assay  is used to test six major potato viruses, namely PLRV, PVS, PVX, PVY, PVA and PVM.  Thermotherapy cum meristem tip excision techniques are used to eliminate these viruses.  Virus free in vitro potato plantlets are rapidly propagated by single nodal cuttings on  modified MS media. For pre-basic seed production disease free in vitro potato plantlets are  transplanted in the sterile sand soil substrate under glasshouse and screen house, once in  autumn season and next in spring season. Since 1990, National Potato Research Program has  been producing about 200,000 pre-basic seeds annually. So far, PBS of 19 different  recommended and released potato cultivars has been produced. Till date 3,465,799 PBS had  been produced and 3,217,666 pre-basic seeds distributed to the different seed potato growers  groups, District Agriculture Development Offices, government farms/research stations, and  NGOs/INGOs for subsequent basic seed potato production. After establishment of tissue  culture facilities in National Potato Research Program, the productivity of potato has been  increased by 71% due to utilization of pre-basic seed potatoes.Nepal Agric.
