2014 Tech Meeting Dan Fiser

2  Crop: Potatoes  Location: Stockton Ca  Dates: –Harvesting: July 2,2014  Objective: Evaluation of Intracept  Treatments: #1) GSP #2) GSP + 1 pt on seed piece #3) GSP + 1pt on seed + 1pt foliar at tuber initiation #4) GSP + 1 pt foliar at tuber initiation Summary - The addition of Intracept at planting or at hooking or both did not improve overall number of tubers or total yield. However, Intracept treatments increased the number of Class “A” tubers which are the most valuable. Additionally the foliar application of Intracept at hooking reduced the number of low value class “C” tubers
