Nebraska Spuds Find Ready Market in South
A southern potato market favors certified Nebraska and Montana seed to curb mosaic disease. Tests from Louisiana Baton Rouge show seed from certified sources yields vigorous plants with higher stands, while uncertified and home grown seed lag. Buyers in the Delta area pay premium for Nebraska seed, and industry officials anticipate growing demand as stations promote certified stock to southern growers.

Guidance on Seed Selection and Handling for Northern Growers
Growers should use disease free seed with high yield potential and roguing to remove disease. If full seed is unavailable seed plots should be used, with fall roguing and selection for next year. Treat all seed with corrosive sublimate and use proper seed sizes and loading practices to preserve quality during shipping to the south.
