Summary

The rapid growth of the number of potato breeders in the Netherlands was favourably influenced by a wide spread interest for all problems concerned with potatoes, by financial support and advice.

In 1954, the number of potato breeders was 193; 46 of them can be considered professional breeders, while of 20 breeders one or more varieties figure in the Dutch List of Varieties 1954.

The creation of the Foundation for Agricultural Plant Breeding resulted in the enhancement of the level of potato breeding and the increase of the number of potato seedlings raised every year.

Samenvatting

De uitbreding van het aantal aardappelkwekers in Nederland werd gunstig beinvloed door de grote belangstelling voor de aardappel, de financiële steun en de voorlichting.

In 1954 bedroge het aantal aardappelkwekers 193. Een 46-tal van deze beoefent het kweekwerk op tamelijk tot zeer grote schaal; van 20 kwekers komen éé of meer aardappelrassen op de Nederlandse rassenlijst 1954 voor.

De totstandkoming van de Stichting voor Plantenveredeling had to gevolg dat het niveau van de aardappelveredeling kon worden verhoogd en dat het aantal zaailingen werd vergroot.
