Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production of high-grade seed potatoes should be regarded as a special business. Good seed is a determining factor in the production of maximum crops of potatoes. The use of high-grade seed would increase the return from the potato crop of the country by many millions of dollars. Good strains of seed may be obtained by the tuber-unit, hill-selection, or mass-selection methods thought he process of elimination. . Like produces like. If tubers from unproductive or weak plants are planted, a poor harvest will be reaped. Use seed from productive plants. Purity of seed stock is an essential quality of good seed. Serious losses are sustained by the grower through mixtures. Good seed can not be produced unless the growing plants are well cared for. A more liberal use of food seed would materially increase the average production per acre. All seed should be disinfected before planting. Good storage facilities are essential to insure sound, firm seed at planting time.

Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book provides a fresh, updated and science-based perspective on the current status and prospects of the diverse array of topics related to the potato, and was written by distinguished scientists with hands-on global experience in research aspects related to potato. The potato is the third most important global food crop in terms of consumption. Being the only vegetatively propagated species among the world’s main five staple crops creates both issues and opportunities for the potato: on the one hand, this constrains the speed of its geographic expansion and its options for international commercialization and distribution when compared with commodity crops such as maize, wheat or rice. On the other, it provides an effective insulation against speculation and unforeseen spikes in commodity prices, since the potato does not represent a good traded on global markets. These two factors highlight the underappreciated and underrated role of the potato as a dependable nutrition security crop, one that can mitigate turmoil in world food supply and demand and political instability in some developing countries. Increasingly, the global role of the potato has expanded from a profitable crop in developing countries to a crop providing income and nutrition security in developing ones. This book will appeal to academics and students of crop sciences, but also policy makers and other stakeholders involved in the potato and its contribution to humankind’s food security.
