Potatoworld Magazine
The recently-published Potato Handbook, written by Professor Anton Haverkort, covers in about six hundred pages all the conceivable aspects related to the potato. This is a unique reference work, more complete than any previously published, on the nutritious tuber, and is intended for everyone throughout the world who works in whatever way with potatoes / or wants to know more about them. To provide a clear line in the classification of the comprehensive handbook, Haverkort has adopted the formula Society x P plant=Planting stock x Environment x Cultivation as a guideline. This brings together all the factors related to the potato. To give an impression of all the information that the Potato Handbook has to offer, the upcoming issues of Potato World magazine will present a very concise version of each chapter of the Potato Handbook. This time a small excerpt from chapter 1.
