We are also suggesting the
following tips for sweet
potato production. It is very
important that you grow
good plants to set out in the
fall.
Presprouting Sprout
production will be faster,
more uniform and more
prolific if seedstock is ex
posed to high temperatures
(80-85 degrees F.) and high
relative humidity (about 90
percent) for 2-4 weeks prior
to bedding—provide
adequate ventilation
: because of higher sweet
: potato respiration rates.

popular, but you may want
to consider Copperskin
Jewel, Porto Rico 198 and
others. Jewel yields well
and produces a high per
centage of nicely shaped,
“No. l’s” which store vary
well, but this variety is more
susceptible to rotting in wet
soils.
Seedstock—Use good,
preferably certified seed.
Because seed is in short
supply seed of questionable
purity and sanitation may
have to be used; each root
should be inspected for the
presence of scurf and
“nicked” to check for color.
Diseased and off-types
should be discarded. Under
no circumstances should
non-certified roots or
sprouts (slips) be brought in
from other states due to the
potential introduction of
dreaded sweet potato
weevil, pox and-or bacterial
rot.
Seedstock Treated —
Discard entire lots where
scurf and-or black rot is
observed. After selection,
treat seedstock and con
tainers by dipping or
spraying (rates per 100 gal
of water); Mertect 340 F (3
qts), Botran 50W (1.5 lb)
Vandde 51 (2 gal) or Arasan
42-S (2.5 gal). Keep solution
agitated and fresh.
Bedding—Select a well
drained, light sandy loam
soil that has not been in
sweet potatoes for at least 3
years to avoid possible car
ryover of diseases. Locate
beds near a water supply as
irrigation will be necessary
at least after every pulling.
Fumigate at least 2 weeks
before bedding (when soil is
warm) if not done so last
fall; with methyl bromide
(1-2 lb-100 sq. ft.) or Vorlex
(35 gal-acre broadcast)
cover treated area with
clear plastic. See Plant
Pathology Information Note
170.
Fertilize at bedding and
after each pulling for op
timum size, vigor and
number of sprouts.
Uniformity of seedstock
size, in-bed spacing, and
soil covering (2.0 indies) is
essential for optimum
sprout production. If beds
are not fumigated a her
bicide should be applied
immediately following
bedding for weed control.
Spray Enide 50 W at 5.0 to
7.5 lbs-acre over beds.
