Item description from seller

Print on Demand. Decades of work from multiple agricultural leaders and organizations have contributed to the progress chronicled in this book, an essential report on the National Potato Breeding Program from 1929 to 1955. This book stands as the culmination of a quarter-century of active potato breeding efforts in the United States. It will be of interest to anyone concerned with agricultural history, plant breeding, and potato production. The report begins with a general discussion of the goals and methods of the program, before summarizing the progress made in developing new potato varieties and improving existing ones. The author shares details of the breeding program, including work on disease resistance, yield improvement, and quality enhancement. The report also presents data from yield tests, scab resistance tests, and other experiments conducted as part of the program. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance of the breeding program's findings for the potato industry and for consumers. The author highlights the importance of continued research and breeding efforts to meet the challenges of potato production in the future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
