With exception of having more to plant ,what is the purpose of cutting seed potatoes into halves or quarters? thanks hlb Potatoes have many "eyes" (spots where sprouts occur). If too many eyes sprout those resulting sprouts become crowded, reducing yield. Man has discovered that 2-3 sprouts work well for maximum production, thus the cutting before planting helps out as well as producing additional "seed". |
