"The potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a member of the Solanaceae or nightshade family. The nightshade family includes a number of horticulturally important crops including tomato, pepper, eggplant and tobacco. Potatoes originated in the Andes Mountains of Peru and Bolivia and have been cultivated for over 5,000 years. They were introduced into Europe in the sixteenth century. Potato cultivation and acceptance as a food product in Europe gradually increased into the 19th century. Potatoes were introduced into Canada in 1623 when a supply of potatoes was delivered to Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. The potato is now cultivated in all provinces of Canada. Potatoes are grown for the fresh, processing (frozen, chipping, dehydrated and other products) and seed potato markets"--Page 1 Potatoes Diseases and pests Control Canada.
