Potatoes sprouting tubers

Ideally, seed potato crops should be planted with sprouted tubers and at a high seed rate to produce a good yield of seed size tubers (25-50 mm). The haulm should be destroyed chemically, to reduce the risk of blight or vims transmission. [Pg.280]

Potatoes are tubers in which starch is stored and, depending mainly on the variety, they vary in shape (e g. round, oval, kidney, irregular) skin eolour (mainly cream and/or red) flesh colour (mainly cream or lemon) and depth of eyes (where sprouts develop). [Pg.363]

Potatoes will start to sprout after a long period in storage. This can be checked by spraying the freshly lifted tubers with a chemical sprout depressant. [Pg.163]

Seed potatoes usually appear in nurseries, or are shipped by mailorder suppliers, in late winter to early spring, in order that they may be "chitted" for a few weeks before planting out. Lay out the tubers in shallow trays—egg cartons near right) are ideal. Place the end with the most "eyes" (dormant buds) uppermost. Put them in a light, warm place until they sprout. Once frost has become rare and the soil has warmed up, plant them out far right) with the sprouted end uppermost. [Pg.263]

The dose required to inhibit sprouting of onions, shallots, and garlics is 0.03-0.12 kGy. For good sprout control of tubers such as potatoes and yams, somewhat higher doses, 0.08-0.14 kGy, are required. Because of decreased wound-healing ability after irradiation, doses in excess of 0.15-0.2 kGy may induce increased microbial rot in storage [24]. [Pg.791]
