Potato Seed from Spud to Bud
Dennis Van Dyk interviewed Steve Johnson, from the University of Maine, about potato seed piece handling from spud to bud. How do seed age, size, and storage conditions affect your final stand, and what disease prevention options work best? Steve is a true master of his material, and was a pleasure to interview.You can see more of Steve's work on potatoes through the University of Maine pesticide credit system. This is website is technically for pesticide applicators in Maine, but don't have to pay for anything to watch his videos and read his accompanying resources. The song, Spud to Bud, is a topical re-write of Stompin' Tom's Bud the Spud. Words and performance by Ben Phillips.
