Description

Seed potato is a high value crop with considerable potential in the prairie provinces. Top-killing of the plant foliage prior to harvest induces tuber maturity and accelerates skin set, making the potatoes more resistant to disease and spoilage during storage. Top-killing can be achieved through chemical or mechanical means, or a combination of both. This research update reports on results of comparisons of the performance of two styles of mechanical shredders when used in combination with various treatments with Reglone.
