Victory Gardens: Iowa Potato Varieties and Planting Tips
The Irish Cobbler dominates Iowa potato production with about three quarters of crops, followed by Chippewa. Warba matures earlier for home gardens. Do not lime or manure potato soil this spring. use 0-20-0 fertilizer on ordinary soils and 0-9-27 on peat or mud soils at 500 to 800 pounds per acre. Seed pieces should be green sprouted, planted 12 inches apart in rows 32 to 36 inches apart, 4 inches deep, with one inch of soil. Maintain soil coverage to four inches as plants grow and stagger seed sowings to avoid a glut of harvests.

Seed treatment before planting shows clear benefits, especially under cold wet soil, and tests reveal dramatic gains in cold germination after treatment. Farmers should check their seed germination now and adjust planting rates if needed.
