    • Abstract:
      The author looks at potato cultivation on soils affected by abiotic stress in India. He cites the sensitivity of potato crops to excess salt content of soil. He states that potato has a large gene pool that may allow the development of salt-tolerant varieties. He notes the need for India to increase potato production as it faces reduced stagnant cultivable land and food insecurity threat.
