Welcome to Solynta

Solynta is a leading potato seed breeding company based in Wageningen (NL) which has developed an innovative technology for targeted breeding of one of the world’s most important staple crops, potatoes. Our award-winning hybrid true potato seeds will transform the way potatoes are grown and distributed worldwide.

Breeding Benefits

significant higher yields
stress resistant: adapted to climate change
resistant to diseases: less pesticides and fungicides
Higher quality: better taste and nutrition value
bio-based applications
manifold faster and goal directed

True Potato Seeds (TPS) are:

clean: no contamination with pathogens
easy logistics: transport, storage
fast mulitplication: millions of seeds in one season
25 gram TPS instead of 2500 kilo seed-tubers

Welcome to HiSPoB

The possibility of targeted breeding in potatoes has been highlighted in HiSPoB. HiSPoB introduced Phytophthora infestans resistance genes in existing cultivars. By stacking different Phytophthora infestans resistance genes in a single cultivar it is expected that the resistance will be more durable.
