More About the Book
The contributions in this book reflect the
rapid developments both in the industry and in
science. The nutritional aspects of the potato
tuber are discussed as well as the volatile
consumer moods in saturated or new markets.
Latest developments in potato breeding and
seed potato production are highlighted and
these contributions underline how these potato
sectors have been revolutionized. The present
and future role of decision support systems in
managing inputs of nitrogen and water and in
managing pests (and thus in making potato
production more sustainable) is described.
Several innovations in technology development
in potato production and storage are
illustrated. Experts provide the latest news
on crop protection, with a focus on
developments in the control of the potato
brown rot bacterium and late blight. Finally
the trends in potato trade are described.
This book shows that the potato crop is
progressing globally – with increasing impact
on food supply and added value – providing
many opportunities for science to meet
practice.
