Potato Production Worldwide presents information on this global crop beginning with its origin, history, taxonomy, morphology, and growth and development of the potato crop and including the latest strategies in addressing today’s biotic and abiotic challenges. Potato is a crop that is grown on all inhabited continents of the globe. It is included in the top five crops of the world, used as staple food in several countries and possesses a wide adaptability and the number of people daily consuming the potato may surpass one billion. Despite the high quantities of seed potato produced worldwide, there are yield gaps due to challenges such as abiotic stresses, pests, climate change and poor production practices. A region-wise critical analysis of yield declining factors in potato can better help to formulate the management strategies that can improve the potato yields. Bridging yield gaps in potato will ultimately ensure the role of this crop in securing the current and future food security. The book identifies the reasons for yield gaps in various potato production regions of the world, as well as presenting the best production practices, pest management strategies and approaches to deal with the climate change from the perspective of potato production. Chapters provide important insights into potato production cultures and approaches in the major potato production countries. This country-specific information will be useful nationally for policy makers, and internationally by scientists seeking to better understand the production process and means of improving crop production. Examples, case studies, and reviews of literature help potato researchers and extension workers training the potato farmers. Potato Production Worldwide presents a complete look on the potato crop, including its agronomy, pest control, harvesting, products, challenges in crop management, solutions and modern approaches. It will be a valuable resource for researchers, scientists and students seeking a comprehensive view at successful potato production. Provides comprehensive information on the origin, history, taxonomy, morphology, ecophysiology, growth and development of potatoAddresses production practices including irrigation, nutrient management, harvesting and post-harvest techniquesExplores the impact of Abiotic stresses (drought, chilling, salinity etc.) and their managementExplains the biotic stresses in the potato production and the damages caused by these stresses, and pest control methods(including integrated pest management) for managing fungal pathogens, weeds, insect pests, viruses and nematodes
