Seed Potatoes and How to Produce Them Bulletin Summary
The United States Department of Agriculture warns average U S potato yields lag behind Canada, Britain, and Europe due to seed quality. Farmers Bulletin 1982 by William Stuart outlines six seed-improvement methods: tuber unit, method, hill section, mass selection, field roguing, and strain testing. Mass selection and field roguing suit average growers, requiring simple steps to identify vigorous plants and remove diseased or off-type stock. Field roguing should occur at least three times in the growing season to reduce mosaic and leaf-roll diseases. The bulletin covers cultural practices, harvesting, storing, seed treatment, soil preparation, and fertilization, with free copies from USDA Washington.
