Book Description
Seed-potato treatments to prevent certain kinds of seed-borne diseases have been improved and simplified. The long-time soak in corrosive sublimate or formaldehyde solution was effective from the standpoint of disease control, but was impractical in large-scale operations because of the time consumed. In many parts of the country this method is giving way to the hot-formaldehyde treatment, which takes only a few minutes. The organic-mercury dip method affords the same advantage of timesaving without necessitating temperature control of the treating solution. Seed treatment is of proved value and although many potato growers are adopting the improved methods, this step toward profitable potato production should be more widely taken.

Book Description
This book provides basic knowledge on how to produce, multiply and use propagation material in seed potato production and supply systems world wide. 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.
