Does a large potatoe seed tuber produce a heavier crop than a small
one ?


No. One from a very small tuber may do, especially if the growing
season is short, but the difference between an egg- and fist-sized
one is negligible. That is why traditional practice is to split
large tubers if they have enough sprouts.
