To grow beautiful and delicious potatoes, we should adopt a two-pronged approach of "congenital selection" and "acquired bacteria". The potato skin on the market is smooth and white, and the bright appearance immediately grabs the eyes and appetite of consumers. However, when growing potatoes, it is easy to suffer from "scab" disease that makes the epidermis rough and bulge, and even the tumor mass protrudes, which makes the selling appearance very poor. So, how can we plant potatoes that look good and stimulate people's appetite?

The Agricultural Test Institute of the Council of Agriculture (hereinafter referred to as the Agricultural Test Institute) has developed a new microbial preparation of "Bacillus subtilis LNP-1", which can effectively control the "potato scab" which is common in the field and make the potato skin appear protruding tumor mass, improve the yield of potato, and increase the probability of successful sale to the channel. In addition, the Agricultural Test Institute also encourages farmers to choose "healthy seed potatoes" and do screening on "congenital", which can also greatly reduce the infection rate of germs in the process of planting potatoes and grow delicious and beautiful potatoes.

Agricultural testing Institute: adjusting innate physique with "healthy seed Potato"

Fang Yidan, secretary of the director of the Agricultural examination Institute, said that in addition to giving assistance to potatoes in "acquired control," it is also necessary to choose good potato varieties from their "innate physique," which can more effectively reduce the incidence of potatoes and grow beautiful and delicious potatoes. Fang Yidan explained that potatoes are easy to get sick, including scab, black mole, rotation rot, soft rot, bacterial wilt, and late blight. In order to reduce the occurrence of these good diseases, the seedling farm will cultivate "healthy seed potatoes" that are less susceptible to disease and provide them to farmers for purchase.

"healthy seed potatoes" cut and propagate the original potatoes, and after about two years and three times of breeding, after confirming that this batch of "potato offspring" are in good health, they will be provided to farmers for purchase. At present, non-governmental units in major potato growing areas, such as Chiayi Xikou Cooperative and Fengyuan Peasant Association, are doing "healthy potato" services. The price of "healthy seed potato" is about 50 yuan per kilogram, which is about twice the price of ordinary potatoes that have not gone through this set of "healthy seed potato" confirmation process (18 yuan per kilogram on the 25th).

Fang Yidan said that at present, only 30% of the "healthy seed potatoes" have been implemented, but in fact, it is not high, so they are mainly booked. However, according to the disease-prone characteristics of potatoes, she still calls on farmers to buy "healthy seed potatoes" with more stable quality in the long run.

Lin Zongjun said that when growing healthy seed potatoes, if unfortunately diseased potatoes are produced, they should avoid staying in the fields; pay attention to irrigation to prevent tubers from breaking due to water imbalance and create invasive wounds; choose areas with good drainage for planting; and if the disease is more serious, it is recommended to rotate with rice to reduce the density of soil pathogens.
