Seed Potatoes Tested Under New Method
Testing of seed potatoes under a new method devised by the Montana Experiment Station at Bozeman is in use at the Irvine and Cotton certified seed farm east of Dillon, with national and state horticultural experts predicting large savings for the nation's potato growers. The method identifies tubers with bacterial ring rot and other decay by cutting a stem portion and examining it under an ultraviolet light lamp to reveal fluorescence where tissues are broken down.
