Potato Notes on Seed, Spacing, and Spraying Practices
The bulletin advises using 1 ounce seed pieces placed about 11 inches apart and warns larger spacing costs. Treat infected seed potatoes for scab or rhizoctonia. Largest yields occur when fertilizer is 2 to 3 inches from the seed and at same or slightly lower depth. Cultivate deeply early, then avoid near roots as plants grow. Deep late cultivation harms yields. Begin Bordeaux mixture spraying at 6 to 8 inches height and repeat weekly or every ten days as tests support.
