Stimulate North American research potential in the area of fungicide resistance. 

Despite many years of intensive breeding research, no existing cultivars of European or North American potatoes allow commercial cultivation in humid regions without fungicide protection (1). At best, farmers can choose cultivars with a moderate level of general resistance (i.e., Sebago) which are protected by fewer applications...
