More About the Book
The first edition of the Catalogue was published in 1999.  The 2007 edition of the Catalogue is not only a reference manual to researchers and breeders at universities, colleges and institutes, but is a unique publication with practical value to commercial potato farmers, retailers, processors, packers, private breeders of potato seed, and others in the industry.

Information about each variety is presented in table format complimented by the use of a colour scheme that enables the reader to get a quick overview. The following essential information about every variety is provided:

  • Variety name: Including synonym(s)
  • Breeder: Name and contact information
  • Year: Year introduced to the industry
  • Countries where cultivated: Includes countries where it is grown other than the country of origin

  • Depth of eyes: Shallow to deep
  • Flesh colour
  • Skin colour
  • Usage: Table, industry, french fries, chips (crisps)

The content of the Catalogue is organized alphabetically according to variety name, but a separate chapter is also devoted to a listing of varieties in all countries, with a reference to the description of the variety. A further chapter provides contact details of breeders and breeding/research institutes in several countries around the world. Information about each variety is presented in 4 major languages (English, French, German and Spanish).
