Traces the history of the potato from its beginnings in South America to the development of variety breeding.

This is a definitive guide to over 150 varieties currently available in Europe and provides scientifically based assessments of yield, characteristics, and disease resistance. With descriptions of varieties - mainly 'heritage' (pre-1950) - that have recently become available as microplants, it contains everything the potato grower needs to know!
