Abstract: | Summary The potato has been grown in numerous developing countries for many years. Archival material on long-term production/yield trends expressed in graphic form, together with data on previous cultivar introductions, can be an important indicator of potential major constraints to production. As National Potato Programmes are being developed in these countries such data, when used in conjunction with sound agronomic training, can ensure the establishment of a realistic approach to crop development. |
