What is potato "virus-free seed potato"? Can I eat it?

Potato is a common vegetable, which often appears on the table. The price is not high, economical and nutritious. However, in recent years, potato has been attacked by virus in the process of planting, and the yield of potato has declined, and the yield has increased after trying "virus-free seed potato". Let's take a look at what is "virus-free seed potato". Can virus-free potatoes be eaten?

First, what is the "virus-free seed potato"?

Virus-free seed potato refers to the virus-free or rarely virus-infected seed potato obtained after a series of physical, chemical and biological measures to remove the virus in the potato block. This technology was implemented in the main potato producing areas in our country as early as six years ago. Through this technology, the average yield of the field can be increased by 30% and 50%.

The degradation of potato is caused by virus infection. in order to solve the degradation of potato, the degraded potato is removed by a series of science and technology, that is, under aseptic conditions, virus-free test-tube plantlets are obtained by biotechnology, and then the original seeds and seeds are propagated in high altitude and high latitudes, virus-free seedlings are propagated into virus-free seed potatoes at all levels, and finally commercial potatoes are produced. These virus-free seed potatoes and commercial potatoes are collectively referred to as virus-free potatoes.

The yield and quality of potato are closely related to seed potato. Virus-free potato has the following characteristics: developed root system, strong ability to absorb nutrients and water, strong ability to adapt to climate, high leaf area index, high Tonghua area and high photosynthesis efficiency. Therefore, it has the advantages of high yield and good quality.

Can virus-free potatoes be eaten?

After the potato germinates, the solanine content in the bud and bud eye can be as high as 0.3%-0.5%. The normal human body can cause acute sprouting potato poisoning by eating 0.2-0.4 grams of solanine at one time. Whether it is virus-free or general seed potatoes, it is best not to eat them. All contain solanum nigrum.

The potato we usually eat is different from the seed potato of the potato. Usually, the vegetable potato bought in our market can not be used as the seed potato of the potato. It may carry the virus, and it may not be able to judge whether the seed potato is degraded. There is a great hidden danger in quality and safety, and it is not a regular "virus-free seed potato". The probability of virus infection and diseases in production and cultivation will be relatively high, affecting yield and quality.

It is best not to use it. As a vegetable potato bought on the vegetable market, it may carry a virus, it is impossible to judge whether the seed potato is degraded, there is a great hidden danger in quality and safety, and it is not a regular "virus-free seed potato". The probability of virus infection and diseases in production and cultivation will be relatively high, affecting yield and quality. Potato can get rid of the harm and interference of viruses, fungi and bacteria to plant growth, and it will produce potato early, expand quickly, mature early, have no virus infection, high yield and good quality.
