Vanessa Currie, a research technician in the U of G Department of Plant Agriculture, spoke about potato trials for "chipping" varieties at the August 21 potato research open house.

Trials were run at the Ontario Crops Research Centre sites in Elora [1] and Simcoe, [2] demonstrating the value of the research centre network owned by Agricultural Research and Innovation Ontario and operated by U of G through the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance.

This network provides key sites across the province, giving researchers access to diverse soil types and micro-climates that help researchers test new plant varieties, pest solutions and soil health practices under real-world conditions.
