Agrotehnika proizvodnje merkatilnog krumpira ; Agrotechnics of mercantile potato production
Krumpir (Solanum tuberosum) kakvog mi danas poznajemo zeljasta je višegodišnja biljka koja pripada porodici Solanaceae. Različite divlje vrste krumpira rasprostranjene su na jugu Sjeverne Amerike, u Meksiku, centralnoj Americi i po cijeloj Južnoj Americi. Pradomovina krumpira je Južna Amerika, područje Anda (Peru, Bolivija), gdje je Inkama, uz kukuruz, bio glavna hrana. U Europu se prenosi u 16. stoljeću te ga prvi put spominje švicarski botaničar Kaspar Bauhin 1596. god. pod nazivom Solanum tuberosum esculentum. U naše krajeve donijeli su ga graničarski vojnici 1779. i 1780. god. Razumljivo je da je i u našim krajevima bilo početnog otpora prema uvođenju krumpira u prehranu, ali i u samu poljoprivrednu proizvodnju. ; Potato (Solanum tuberosum) as we know today is a herbaceous several-years plant that belongs to the family of Solanaceae. Various wild potato sorts are spread out in the southern part of North America, in Mexico, Central America and throughout South America. The habitat of tomato is South America, the area of the Andes (Peru, Bolivia), where together with corn, it was the main Incas' food. It was introduced to Europe in 16th century and was first mentioned by a Swiss botanist Kaspar Bauhin in 1596 under the name of Solanum tuberosum esculentum. It was brought to the Croatian area by the soldiers of the Military Border in 1779 and 1780. It is understandable that in Croatian area there used to be the initial resistance to potato introduction into food, but also into the agricultural production as well.
