Abstract

Sweet potato is the main food crop cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries of the world. Its tubers are rich in starch and sugar. China accounts for 64% of the world's gross crop. In the leading countries of sweet potato producers, when growing this crop, research is being carried out to select varieties adapted to specific soil and climatic conditions, to create modern resource-saving technology, to determine effective measures for planting and care that create favorable conditions for the growth and development of plants, the possibility of forming a sustainable and high yield. In our country, technologies are being developed and improved for the creation and selection of new varieties of sweet potatoes, adapted for various soil and climatic conditions of the region and their cultivation
