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.

Storage of sweetpotatoes, which have an important place in the human diet, benefits both the producer and the consumer, since it makes sweetpotatoes available throughout the year. While not all sweetpotatoes grown are marketed, over half of those which are will move to market between November and June, and must be stored for some time prior. Loss during storage is tremendous, therefore, there is much room for improvement in sweetpotato storage, which this bulletin addresses.
