The Sweetpotato
13,99 €
- An up-to-date publication with more emphasis on propagation technologies, pests and diseases, curing and storage
- Special attention is given to sweet potato in the main production and growing areas worldwide
In the last four decades of the twentieth century the use of sweetpotato was diversified beyond their classification as subsistence, food security, and famine-relief crop. In developing countries they serve both as human food and for feeding livestock. In Western countries they appeal to health conscious consumers because of their nutritional aspects. The sweetpotato is very high in nutritive value, and merits wider use on this account alone. The book has 2 parts. A general one giving up-to-date information on the history, botany, cultivars, genetic engineering, propagation, diseases and pests, nutritional data and marketing; and a second part presenting data on sweetpotato growing practices in different areas of the world. The information should be useful to researchers, practitioners and crop administrators in different countries.

It is a well written book with enough detail to be useful to those who are already familiar with the subject. It is written in an easy to understand manner and the diagrams are very helpful. The author has a strong knowledge of the subject.

The book has a detailed description of the production, cultivation, and harvesting practices of sweetpotato. I believe it is suitable for both users and researchers(like me).

I have always had a soft spot for the sweet potato. I find them delicious and nutritious, and have always loved to grow them. However, until now, I have been unable to find much information about how to grow them or how to care for them once they are harvested. I was delighted to find that this book provides the information I was looking for, and even more important, it is written in a manner that should make it easy for anyone to understand.
