In the last four decades of the twentieth century the use of
sweetpotato was diversified beyond their classification as
subsistence, food security, and famine-relief crop. In developing
countries they serve both as human food and for feeding livestock.
In Western countries they appeal to health conscious consumers
because of their nutritional aspects. The sweetpotato is very high
in nutritive value, and merits wider use on this account alone. The
book has 2 parts. A general one giving up-to-date information on
the history, botany, cultivars, genetic engineering, propagation,
diseases and pests, nutritional data and marketing; and a second
part presenting data on sweetpotato growing practices in different
areas of the world. The information should be useful to
researchers, practitioners and crop administrators in different
countries.
