Seed potato quality improvement through positive selection by smallholder farmers in Kenya [PDF]

, 2011
In Kenya, seed potato quality is often a major yield constraint in potato production as smallholder farmers use farm-saved seed without proper management of seed-borne pests and diseases. Farm-saved seed is therefore often highly degenerated.

Appropriate Planting Density Can Improve the Storage Root Yield and Commercial Features of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) by Optimizing the Photosynthetic Performance

Agronomy
Planting density is a crucial factor in sweet potato output. However, the relationship among photosynthetic performance, yield, and storage root commercial features that respond to planting density is not well understood.
