Info

• Increasing the breeding programs and industry's ability to effectively manage our genetic resources using intellectual property tools ( e.g. plant patenting and plant breeders rights) by having information on a cultivar's potential well in advance of its release and patenting. This program could support the growers by: • Improving the quality and quantity of information they have for business planning. • Currently, advanced selections are tested and new cultivars are released based on limited knowledge of their overall commercial potential and viability under various northwest growing conditions. This system forces the grower to either make a decision to plant a new cultivar based on inadequate data, or delay a decision for years until an adequate track record has reduced the risk level. • Providing new communication links between the growers, nurseries and plant breeders. • Allowing growers to actively participate in selection evaluations within established protocols and without needing to invest their own resources to pay for the plants and all the planting costs. This program could strengthen the propagators and wholesale nurseries by: • Improving their decision-making methods and reducing their risk. • The present system puts the propagators/wholesale nurseries in the position of guessing how many of which selections and new releases to produce. This has led to economic losses to the nurseries caused by over and/or under production of material. It has created a disincentive for the wholesale nurseries to make available or test new products. • Providing them with objective evaluations of new material under a variety of growing conditions to pass on to potential customers. Relationship to WRRC Research Priority(s): Priority 1 Develop cultivars that are summer bearing, high yielding, winter hardy, machine-harvestable, disease resistant, virus resistant and have superior processed fruit quality Objectives: • Organize and put in place a pilot network of regional on-farm grower trials for evaluating raspberry advanced selections issuing from the USDA-ARS/OSU breeding program in Corvallis and the WSU breeding program in Puyallup. • Place trials on farms located in a variety of regional growing conditions. This network would connect growers, commodity commission contractors, wholesale nursery propagators, public small fruit breeders, and small fruit researchers for the purposes of: o 1) Improving the quality and breadth of information available on advanced selections, o 2) Improving the efficiency of this information's distribution to the grower/processor base. The overall goal of the project is to combine public and private resources in ways that would accelerate the commercialization of our genetic resources. All objectives are included in 2013. Procedures: Review of initial project guidelines • Tissue culture plants will be used. • Maximum of 5 red raspberry selections (processed, but could include some fresh selections). • Minimum of 3 grower sites per selection per year. • Site guidelines would be representative of the major northwest growing regions including: • At least two sites in Northern Washington and one in SW Washington or Oregon. 089
• Maximum number of plants per selection per trial of machine harvested raspberries would be 1000 plants to produce enough fruit for processing potential. This could be considerably less depending on site and consensus of participants as to the size trial needed. • Minimum number of plants could be as low as 10 for a fresh market or hand-picked trial. Year two (2013) procedures • Establish new plantings following procedures similar to those used in year one (2012). • Spring evaluation will be made of plant health/winter damage of the year one plantings. • Evaluations will be made of the first harvest of the year one plantings. • Evaluations will be made in the fall to determination whether to continue for another year's data of the year one plantings. • Advisory group will be communicating as needed to coordinate activities. • Administrator will be giving periodic updates to participants. Disseminating and archiving information as needed. Grower/cooperator arrangements • Testing agreements would be created and approved by WSU (or WSURF) and by UDSA. • Growers would sign testing agreements that would include: on-site visits by other growers and researchers (arranged and agreed to in advanced); participation in the evaluation process; and a testing agreement which includes a prohibition of any on-farm propagation of advanced selections. Anticipated Benefits and Information Transfer: • The anticipated benefit to the breeding program, growers, propagators and wholesale nurseries are detailed above in the Justification section of this proposal. • The results be transferred to users by the Administrator will be giving periodic updates to Washington red raspberry growers and the industry. Disseminating and archiving information as needed through meeting presentations, newsletters and production of summary ‘fact sheets’. References: none 090
