This multimedia software package is not meant to replace any of the printed guides, such as the "Guide to potato productionin South Africa". The aim is rather to supplement existing publications by making production guidelines and the latestresearch results more timely available to farmers. It still contains production guideline information in a condensed format,but has the added advantage that it can be rapidly updated as new information becomes available. This will ensure thatinformation reach end-users more timely.Martin Steynmartin.steyn@up.ac.zaAcknowledgementsThe author hereby acknowledges contributions by the authors of following Agricultural Research Council (ARC) publications.The information in this multimedia guide is largely based on these two publications:Denner, F. & Venter, S. 2011.
