Avoid Tubers That Are Badly Sprouted
Horticulture expert F A Krantz of the University of Minnesota advises potato growers to plant whole small potatoes from vigorous plants rather than seed pieces from large tubers. He says small seed potatoes should be firm with light sprouts, at least two ounces, and reject badly sprouted tubers. He cautions against increasing acreage even amid high prices.
