trisha01: It is because it is a temperate crop and Jos Plateau located on a high altitude which means low temperatures is ideal for it. Places like Obudu in Cross river, Mambilla Plateau in Taraba which are also of high altitude are equally ideal for its cultivation. During the cold harmattan months when the North is generally cold, it can do well with irrigation. |

Chairman, Irish potatoes does not only grow in plateau state alone, but in Zaria in kaduna and in Bornu state. It is more of the soil condition than the temperature 1 Like |

iniobong888: l will not rule out that ii is cultivated in Zaria just as am thinking it is possible growing it somewhere in Nsukka Enugu State but when l was still working in the South east region, l was interested in Irish potatoes and did visit National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike Abia State and was told that the Potato Programme centre is in Plataeau State as that is where their services are needed and that from their research over the years it requites a temperature of 15-20°C to do well and that eliminates states south of Kwara and Benue States and do well in other Northern states during harmattan. Just as l have the conviction that l can successfully grow strawberry in Imo state that can compete with the imported ones, quality wise..with an open mind,anything is possible! 2 Likes |
