Pathogens such as potato late blight and ring rot will survive the winter on seed potatoes. Cutters are the main means of transmission of pathogens, especially ring rot. At present, there is no specific drug for prevention and control, so efforts should be made on sprouting blocks to prevent pathogens from spreading through cutters.

The specific method is: prepare a porcelain basin, which contains a certain amount of 75% alcohol or 0.3% potassium permanganate solution, prepare three cutters to soak in the above solution for disinfection, these knives are used in turn, and then put into the basin for disinfection. You can also barbecue the knife on the flame for 20-30 seconds and then continue to use it. This can effectively prevent ring rot, black shank disease and other transmission through the knife.
