| | Potato - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Potatoes were used for food and as animal feed. | | | Potato plants have a low-growing habit and bear white to purple flowers with yellow stamens. | | | Recent genetic analysis has shown that the potato was cultivated from one progenitor in an area of southern Peru, and the cultivated species then spread from there. |

| | Watch Your Garden Grow - Potato |
| | Potatoes grown by a special cultural method in that they are not hilled or cultivated after planting are called "straw potatoes." The seed pieces and rows should be spaced the same as for conventional cultivation, but the seed pieces are planted at the soil surface. | | | Potato is a cool-season vegetable that ranks with wheat and rice as one of the most important staple crops in the human diet around the world. | | | Potatoes are among the earliest vegetables planted in the garden. |

| | Potato crop emergence typically occurs 15-30 days after the seed pieces are planted, depending on soil temperatures and the date of planting. | | | Whole or cut seed potatoes may be treated with a fungicide to reduce seed piece decay in the soil. | | | Potato fleabeetles overwinter as adults in the soil in fields in which they have matured. |

| | Potato tubers are harvested from 90 to 160 days after planting and this may vary with cultivars, production area, and marketing conditions. | | | Potato Aphids, predominately the Green Peach Aphid (Myzus persicae) and the Potato Aphid (Macrosiphum solanifolii), are soft bodied insects, 1/8-1/4 inch long, green or flesh colored, and with or without wings. | | | Overview Potatoes are best adapted to the more northern temperate regions (or highlands) where the soil is loose so as to provide conditions for tuber swell (loose, friable, clod-free), and the temperature (and to an extent, the photoperiod) are in accord and most favorable to the plant's requirements. |

| | UC IPM: Information about Integrated Weed Management in Potato |
| | Potato fields should always be tilled after previous crops are harvested to reduce weed seed or propagule production. | | | In areas where potato plants die soon after irrigation is withheld, early harvest helps reduce weed populations by destroying weeds before their seeds mature. | | | On spring potatoes planted in winter, rows can be cultivated during the winter, just before the potatoes emerge, and again up until the 4- to 8-inch stage of growth, if necessary. |

| | Potato Facts - Introduction |
| | Potato production in some developing countries involves the use of large quantities of chemical pesticides. | | | However, the expansion of potatoes to less favored areas slowed the rate of improvement in yields. | | | Efforts are well underway to meet this challenge by developing not only late blight resistant varieties but also systems of integrated disease management that put traditional farmers' practices to control potato diseases to optimal use. |

| | Potatoes were originally cultivated in South America, probably in Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. | | | An attempt to make potato plants resistant to sap-sucking insects has highlighted the unpredictability of genetic engineering. | | | Potatoes consist of about 80 percent water, 20 percent solid matter, and have a high nutritional value. |

| | As the land holdings were sub-divided to feed a growing population, the old virtues of husbandry and agriculture were forgotten. | | | Decision Breadth: 2 (Ireland, UK) Ireland, a colonial holding of Britain during the Potato Famine, was exploited as a resource for producing agricultural products. | | | Experts fear that this blight may cause a famine in South America if it is not controlled.(57) Because the current blight can reproduce sexually, it possesses greater genetic variation, spreads faster, survives harsher weather, and resists more chemicals. |

| | The potato, which has normal levels of vitamin C and other nutrients, was originally developed from seed for a creamy taste by Naturally Best of Lincolnshire. | | | A new potato with fewer than half the calories of other spuds has been developed after nine years of research and breeding, according to scientists. | | | Since nutritional values can differ among potatoes, the Vivaldi can have up to 38% less carbohydrate and 56% fewer calories than other varieties, the producers say. |
