More About the Book
Healthy, vigorous seed tubers are essential
in potato production. Producing them used to
be expensive and difficult. Multiplication
rates in the field are low, seed-borne
diseases are numerous and seed tubers lose
quality during storage between growing
seasons. Recently, novel methods of
multiplication have revolutionised the seed
potato industry. This has resulted in a
diversity of seed production systems adjusted
to the local potential and needs.
This book summarises the current knowledge and
assesses the efficient use of modern
technology in different stages of seed
production. It describes in detail what seed
quality means, how (pre-)basic seed can be
produced, how this can be multiplied, and how
seed health is maintained. It also describes
diverse examples of seed supply systems in
different regions of the world.
The book is aimed at agronomists, farm
advisors, seed producers, breeders, and at
those involved in seed policies, seed
programme development and seed trade. Also
recommended for (international) students in
agronomy, horticulture and plant breeding.
