Potato Abstracts is a fully searchable abstract database of internationally published research. Potato Abstracts brings you the latest information on the potato; from production of true seeds and seed tubers to storage, marketing and consumption.

Derived from CAB Abstracts, the orginial applied life sciences database, coverage includes crop husbandry, crop protection, potato breeding, physiology, harvesting, food technology and nutritional aspects, and economics.

Each week Potato Abstracts delivers all the new highly-targeted, searchable summaries covering key English and non-English language journal articles, reports, conferences and books about potatoes. Over 1,800 records are added to the database each year.

Potato Abstracts includes a fully searchable backfile to 1975. Over 53,000 research summaries (click here for a sample record) bring a wealth of current and seminal research on potatoes to your fingertips!
Potato Abstracts is also available in print, delivered quarterly.
