Potatoes, cull

Life Cycle Larvae or pupae overwinter in soil or potato culls left outdoors in spring... 

In 1910 there was wide interest in the subject of the manufacture of industrial alcohol for power purposes. Many different waste products were being studied as to their possibilities in the way of alcohol production. Wente and Tolman went into considerable detail in a study of potato culls as a source of industrial alcohol. 

Culled) food potatoes are not normally used because of their low dry matter content (glassy potatoes) and relatively small starch granules,5 which are more difficult to process. When the price of food potatoes is low due to overproduction (culled) food potatoes are sometimes processed between the starch campaigns in Europe. Reclaimed potato starch, which is starch recovered from the process waters from other potato processing industries (French fry, chip/crisp and potato puree manufacturers) is processed on a small scale in Europe and North America. 

Control Plant potatoes early harvest early use heavy mulch to prevent cracked, dry soil, which exposes potato tubers to attack at harvest, destroy cull potatoes and infested vines before nightfall adult moths lay eggs on culls left out overnight. 

Potato Marches occur in almost endless variety, according to the potato used. In the United States, only potatoes of poor sizes or quality ( culls ) or overproduced food-potatoes are employed, the States of Idaho and Maine furnishing the major supply. In Europe, potatoes are intentionally selected and grown for their starch content, particularly in Holland and Ireland. Potato starch is similar to tapioca starch in many respects, and competes directly with it in use for foods (gelatinized starches), paper, and textiles. Potato starch seems to be preferred as a warp size in cotton mills it is an excellent flocculating agent for clays. 

The raw materials which may serve as sources of industrial alcohol are very numerous, aB com, molasses, potatoes, Bawdust, beet pulp, agave, palms, apple culls, cactus, Borghum, garbage, fruits, hay, straw, com stalks, weeds, grains, artichokes, cassava, etc. However, in...
