The Potato Crop is a unique 14-chapter, end-to-end treatment of the potato, co-edited by two leading scientists at the International Potato Center (CIP): Oscar Ortiz, the Deputy Director General for Research and Development, and Hugo Campos, the Director of Research.
To the delight (and surprise) of its many authors, the open access volume has been downloaded more than 56,000 times in its first month from the Springer publishing website. Within the domain of scientific books, it has become a best seller.
