Seed generations explained
G0 vs G1 vs G2 Seed Potatoes
Each field multiplication moves seed one generation further from the lab. The earlier the generation, the cleaner your starting material. Ask for current batch details before booking.

G0
Minitubers produced from virus-indexed tissue-culture plantlets in a climate-controlled greenhouse.
Lowest — virus-indexed foundation
Seed multipliers, dealers and bulk buyers wanting the cleanest start. Limited batches — book early.
Enquire only
G2
Second field multiplication — further from the lab source.
Moderate — risk rises with each field cycle
Commercial planting where cost matters more than generation.
Enquire only
G1
First field multiplication of G0 minitubers.
Low — one field cycle from G0
Farmers and growers needing early-generation seed in larger quantities.

Seed generation basics
Why G0 Matters
G0 minitubers are produced from virus-indexed tissue-culture potato plantlets. Starting your seed multiplication with G0 gives every later generation a cleaner base.
01
Clean Start
Material comes from virus-indexed tissue-culture plantlets, so you begin multiplication from a tested, clean source.
02
Better Multiplication
The earliest generation gives you the most room to multiply your own G1 and G2 seed stock over the following seasons.
03
Lower Risk
Starting from the earliest, virus-indexed generation means fewer field generations behind your seed, reducing the chance of carrying over seed-borne disease.
