Idaho Potatoes Found Sensitive To 2 4 D In Trials
University of Idaho weed researchers report Russet and Bliss potato varieties show sensitivity to 2,4-D in spray or soil residues. Trials on irrigated Idaho fields mirrored eastern reports, risking culls and misshapen tubers if fields carried prior residues.
Potato Growers Split On 2 4 D Use In Idaho Trials
Erickson notes 1948 trials show some wheat and potato varieties tolerate 2 4 D better than others. Do not spray Russets or Bliss potatoes initially until variety tolerance is confirmed. He expects future experiments to explore integrated weed-control systems for Idaho potato production.
