Seed Potato Certification and Potato Virus Y
Author: Jeremy Rosenman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781392024409
Category : Agricultural economics
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
"The Optimal Tolerance for PVY in Certified Seed Potatoes" proposes a new standard for seed potato certification based on the results of post-harvest laboratory tests rather than field inspections. We model the commercial and seed potato markets and evaluate the legitimacy of our model using historical potato production data. We then use our model to find the optimal standard for seed potato certification in terms of post-harvest test results. "Estimating the Economic Impact of In-Season PVY Spread" models the spread of PVY from infected seed stock to uninfected plants during the growing season. Using these models, we developed a tool that allows commercial potato growers to estimate the in-season spread of PVY based on seed-bourn infection level. The tool also estimates the profit/loss due to seed potato quality vs. a baseline of 2% seed-borne PVY.

Potato Handbook
The Potato Crop
Author: Hugo Campos
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030286835
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book provides a fresh, updated and science-based perspective on the current status and prospects of the diverse array of topics related to the potato, and was written by distinguished scientists with hands-on global experience in research aspects related to potato. The potato is the third most important global food crop in terms of consumption. Being the only vegetatively propagated species among the world’s main five staple crops creates both issues and opportunities for the potato: on the one hand, this constrains the speed of its geographic expansion and its options for international commercialization and distribution when compared with commodity crops such as maize, wheat or rice. On the other, it provides an effective insulation against speculation and unforeseen spikes in commodity prices, since the potato does not represent a good traded on global markets. These two factors highlight the underappreciated and underrated role of the potato as a dependable nutrition security crop, one that can mitigate turmoil in world food supply and demand and political instability in some developing countries. Increasingly, the global role of the potato has expanded from a profitable crop in developing countries to a crop providing income and nutrition security in developing ones. This book will appeal to academics and students of crop sciences, but also policy makers and other stakeholders involved in the potato and its contribution to humankind’s food security.
