Sharing his 'overwhelming enthusiasm for the humble spud' and a lifetime's experience in the seed potato industry, Alan Romans combines an engaging account of potato growing with an expert guide to potato varieties. The Potato Book traces the history of the potato from its beginnings in South America to the development of variety breeding. It explains all aspects of growing, from choosing seed potatoes, planting and maintenance, to harvest, storage, and pests and diseases. An exhaustive and definitive guide to over 150 varieties currently available in Europe provides scientifically based assessments of yield, characteristics, disease resistance. With descriptions too of varieties - mainly 'heritage' (pre-1950) - that have recently become available as microplants, it contains everything the potato grower needs to know.

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.

Excerpt from The Book of the Potato: A Practical Handbook Dealing With the Cultivation of the Potato in Allotment, Garden and Field, for Home Consumption; Also the Pests and Diseases Thereof; Together With Selections and Descriptions of the Most Productive, Best Cooking, and Disease-Resistin Few people recognised prior to 1914 that the British folk would later on have to face the problem of a possible shortage of potatoes for food. Until then we were able to produce, with the exception of the very earliest supplies, which were imported in large quantities from the Canary and Channel Islands, sufficient to meet the then requirements of the population of this country. But since the advent of the great European War, such immense quantities have had to be exported to the front to feed our great army that the supply for home consumption has necessarily been considerably curtailed. Another difficulty in production, too, has arisen in consequence of the military authorities having taken so many of the workers on the land to serve in the forces, that it has not been possible for farmers and market gardeners to plant so large an acreage with potatoes as in former years. It is, therefore, no wonder that our supplies should not be abundant, or that these should increase in value. In face of these facts, it becomes the imperative duty of occupiers of gardens and allotments to cultivate their own supplies, and not rely, as in the past, on obtaining them from the shop or market. Happily, this fact has already been seriously recognized by country and suburban dwellers, and a greater area of land has been laid under tribute for potato culture than was previously the case.
