How Many Potatoes Does One Seed Potato Produce?

Filed under: potato — Tags: — TopVeg @ 9:03 pm

It is useful to know how many potatoes will be produced by one
seed potato when calculating how many seed potatoes to plant in the vegetable garden.

The number of potatoes produced by each seed potato varies according to:
variety
number of chits
apical dominance
planting distance
early or maincrop
growing conditions etc…

Any number of new potatoes, from 2 – 10, can be produced from one seed potato.
But most vegetable gardeners would expect at least 6 and preferably 8 -10 new potatoes from each seed tuber planted in the vegetable garden!
