The ARC-Roodeplaat sweetpotato (Ipomea batatas) breeding programme aims at developing sweetpotato cultivars which have good yield and storage root quality combined with sweet and dry taste, early maturity, good keeping ability and drought tolerance.

The breeding activities at Roodeplaat included importation of novel germplasm, polycrossing (5309 seeds), stringent selection at the 3116 seedlings in the seedling nursery, selection of 85 entries from the preliminary yield trial, 10 from the intermediate yield trial and 8 from the advanced yield trial.
