Sugarbeauties® – the new ornamental sweet potatoes from Lubera Edibles

Sugarbeauties® – the new ornamental sweet potatoes from Lubera Edibles

When the Lubera® breeding team started breeding sweet potatoes a few years ago, the original and real focus was on improved, sweeter yielding varieties for hobby cultivation in the vegetable garden. During the selection work in the seedlings, however, we quickly noticed that the diversity in leaf colour and shape was quite large. Thus, it became clear relatively quickly that it was also worthwhile to select for these characteristics. This is what we did and we are just about to release the first...

Current breeding projects in Buchs - impressions of a photographer

How can you, I thought. But Markus " Merciless" Kobelt didn't let up: Yes, exactly, to invest 1-2 days with a photo shoot in the hottest August of all times (?) on the current breeding fields in Buchs, that was his latest job to me. Now I do like to take photos. But I prefer slightly overcast skies - of course just so that the photos turn out as good as possible, certainly not because of me... But what did I notice during the photo safari, armed with the camera and with the eyes of...

Horseradish young plants – the well-known medicinal and seasoning plant is also available from us

Who doesn't know horseradish? Maybe not as much as a plant, but as a root from the weekly market or the supermarket, or already processed as a white seasoning paste in a jar. (Almost) everyone knows the pungent and slightly earthy taste of this old vegetable. Or is it rather a spice? Before the widespread availability of pepper, horseradish – along with mustard – was the only hot condiment. And growing horseradish at home in your own garden is anything but difficult; moreover...

Sugaroots® – Sweet Potato Young Plants for Central Europe

Sugaroots® – Sweet Potato Young Plants for Central Europe

Hardly any vegetable is currently as trendy as the sweet potato. With an annual per capita consumption of around half a kilo, the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is far from dominating the conventional potato (Solanum tuberosum), but the potential is there. In order to utilise this potential, at least in home gardens, we are launching the Sugaroots® sweet potato series for the 2022 spring season. These varieties were bred and selected by our partner company Lubera® in Switzerland.

Sweet potatoes, Ipomoea batatas, are one of the most important crops internationally. In terms of yield, they rank number 15 among all crops, and among the root crops they are in 3rd place after potatoes and cassava. Their genetic origin and thus the place of greatest diversity is in subtropical to tropical Central America, but there are also genetic centres in South America (Peru) and in Polynesia, where the large tuberous roots stopped on their journey around the world. Exactly how sweet...
