Abstract

The potato is grown in over 120 countries throughout the world and is a staple crop in several of them. It is efficient as a producer of high quality dietary nitrogen, and a very important source of vitamin C, but inefficient as a supplier of energy to the consumer. Differing environments and facilities can lead to vastly different levels of production ; the potential yield of tubers is about 100 tonnes / hectare under ideal conditions, but this rarely achieved and in several developing countries yields are as low as 5 tonnes / hectare. The Potato, comprehensively revised and updated for this third edition, discusses the scientific principles underlying the more efficient production, storage and utilization of potatoes and goes on to examine the origin, domestication and spread of the crop. Further topics covered include cultivars, propagation by true seed, factors which influence the yield, distribution and composition of dry matter, post-harvest physiology, disease and pests, processing, nutritive values, cooking quality, and the storage of potatoes for human consumption and other purposes. The author provides an important and wide-ranging study, discussing research and data from non-temperate, as well as temperate cultivation of the potato. Its comprehensive nature will make it invaluable for research workers and all involved professionally in the potato industry.
