Citation : Ricaud, C.; Seed potato for the warm tropics: Constraints and options; 1991
Abstract : The availability of good quality seed of appropriate varieties is one of the most important requisites for improving potato productivity in the warm tropics. For a long time developing countries in the warm tropics have relied on seeds imported at high cost from the more developed countries, and it was generally accepted that seed production in the warm tropics are discussed in this paper, including diseases and their epidemiology, variety adaptation and seed storage. In the light of the various technical and economic considerations, and with due regard to local resources, different options exist. Very high quality seed can now be produced with confidence in the warm tropics with the adoption of the most refined techniques.

Citation : Bholah, M. A.; Cavalot, P. C.; Wong Yen Cheong, K.; Deville, J.; Govinden, N.; N, P, K fertilizer requirements of potato in relation to soil P and K status under Mauritian conditions; 1991
Abstract : The effects of N, P and K on potato yield, petiole and tuber composition and nutrient uptake were evaluated over a three year period in field trials in the major production zones of Mauritius. N and K applications did not consistently improve yield but the response to P was most significant at all rates. Nutrient levels in petiole and tuber were significantly increased with N and K but not with P. Nutrient uptake by tubers showed that the potato crop had a high requirement for K. Soil P and K threshold values for maximum yield were estimated to be 175 ppm P and 0.6 m.e. per cent K, using 0/1M H2SO4 as extractant. Analysis of soil for available P and K were found to be necessary for the recommendation of optimum P and K rates.
