Seed Potatoes - Pests & Disease

  • These can be stored for only for a week or two
  • Susceptible to late blight on tubers
  • Stay tuned to weather alerts such as Met Eireann
  • How to spot blight
    • Brown spots on leaves leading to foliage rot
    • Foliage turns black
    • Next the tubers begin to rot
  • How to control blight
    • Choose disease resistant seed potatoes
    • Spray crops prior to infection with blight control products
    • A common spray available on the market is the bordeaux mixture

Seed Potatoes - Yields at Harvest

  • Yields from these will depend on your soil & conditions this Summer
  • A very good yield would be a 15:1 ratio
  • If you plant 1Kg of seed potatoes you would get about 15Kg of potatoes at harvest
  • But you can expect a yield of around 10Kg to every 1Kg planted on average
