| Discusses the various aspects of potato seed production in the light of experience gained in Mauritius and overseas; there is a genuine possibility of producing seeds with a low maximum tolerance of leaf roll, the major limiting factor in the production. The cost of imported seed represents nearly 50 per cent of total production costs. With cheaper seeds produced locally, extension of the planting season early and late could also be envisaged, with the risks of losses through low yield minimized for the planter. Recommendations are made for the start in 1971 of experiments on a semi-commercial scale to implement the seed potato production scheme. | |
