Inhaltsangabe

Potato is the fourth major staple food in the world and is still rapidly gaining importance, especially in the tropics. In May, 1994 the second international potato modelling conference was held in Wageningen, the Netherlands, as a summerschool of the C. T. de Wit Graduate School. The conference was sponsored by DLO, SCRI, SSCR, W AU and the LEB-Fund. Over 80 scientists participated, coming from 16 countries. Of each crop physiological and modelling subject, a leading scientist was requested to write a review of the most recent developments in his or her field. The reviews, with highlights from the authors’ own work, are such that the physiological work described is of interest to the modeller and the modelling work to the crop physiologist. Applications of the quantitative approach are also reviewed in the concluding chapters that deal with decision support systems, breeding and agro-ecological zoning. An outstanding point of this book is that both the crop ecology and the modelling of a broad range of biotic and abiotic factors are treated by scientists representing groups which are specialized in the subject. The two related disciplines met during the conference and thus wrote the chapters with each other’s interest in mind. The book highlights the limitations for potato growth and development from the viewpoints of both the crop physiologist and the crop-systems analyst.

Reseña del editor

The potato is the fourth major staple of the world and is still rapidly gaining importance, especially in the tropics. An outstanding point of this book is that both the crop ecology and the modelling of a broad range of biotic and abiotic factors are treated by the foremost scientists studying the subject today. These factors include environmental factors, such as temperature, solar radiation and carbon dioxide, as well as air and soil borne diseases and pest. The use of models in practice (decision support systems) and in science (modelling sustainability and agro-ecological zoning) is treated.
Although the potato crop is used as an example, this book gives the current state of knowledge of both the crop physiology and modelling of a field grown crop and as such is of interest to any scientist dealing with field grown crops.
