Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book combines the crop survey method with the biometrical method to study factors influencing the yield of potatoes. The author analyzed data from potato farms across four distinct regions in New York State, comparing results with existing experimental evidence and addressing limitations and biases in crop survey research. The author studies seed, fertilizers, planting, cultivation, spraying, harvesting, and storage. The study reveals a trove of information about potato farming practices and their impact on yield. For instance, the author finds that while farmers generally believe their land values correlate with productivity, this is not always the case. Concluding, the author underscores the need for more extensive research to fully understand the relationship between various farming practices and potato yield.
