Abstract
There is a great deal of general research information published on growing potatoes — an average of 1,820 papers and reports annually during the past five years according to Potato Abstracts Although much of this information is concerned with diseases and pests, emphasis is skewed toward temperate zone diseases and pests. For example, less than two percent of the reports dealt with the potato tuber moth, root-knot nematodes and Pseudomonas wilt, which combined, are major production constraints of potatoes grown in a band encircling the world 30°N and 30°S of the equator.
