Dataset for: Potential new bio-fortified potato varieties high in iron and zinc to contribute to food and nutrition security in Apurimac, Peru (Participatory Varietal Selection).

A select group of 30 tetraploid biofortified clones from cycle I will be evaluated using a farmer participatory variety selection (PVS) in the highland of Apurimac during the campaign 2018-2019; yield components, micronutrients content (Fe Zn) and post-harvest traits will be determinated, with the main purpose to improve the food security and nutrition of families in situation of vulnerability through the identification of 3-5 potential new biofortified potatoes varieties with 25% of micronutrient concentration (Fe) above the local varieties

本研究将选取第一周期的30个经生物强化（biofortified）的四倍体（tetraploid）无性系，于2018-2019年度在阿普里马克高原开展农户参与式品种选择（Farmer Participatory Variety Selection, PVS）评价，并测定其产量构成要素、微量营养素含量（铁Fe、锌Zn）及采后性状。本研究的核心目标为：筛选出3-5个铁元素微量营养素浓度较当地品种高出25%的潜在新型生物强化马铃薯品种，以此改善脆弱处境家庭的粮食安全与营养状况。
