American Ag-Tec International Ltd. of Delavan, Wisconsin announces a dedicated website targeting seed potato production worldwide using the Quantum Tubers™ biomanufacturing technology for the rapid multiplication of pathogen-free potato minitubers.

Minitubers are zero generation nuclear seed potato derived from in vitro tissue cultured plantlets and used for the first stage of seed potato multiplication. The Quantum Tubers™ patented technology allows for seed potato producers worldwide to eliminate from 5 to 7 years of field plantings from their seed multiplication schemes saving both time and money. The controlled production of tens-of-millions of minitubers under this biomanufacturing system provides for very large quantities of exceptionally high quality seedstocks to be produced with just two field generations.

The Quantum Tubers™ technology system has been developed by Ag-Tec in conjunction with the NASA Space Center (WCSAR) at the University of Wisconsin and with assistance from the UWM Plant Pathology Department, Dr. Thomas L. German.
