Two meter dig on Maris Piper crop, good size, better numbers in this crop. Many tubers still below a 55mm but will need to check again in about a week as the leaders are at 65mm+. Good moisture levels in the bed and no signs of streptomyces scabies (common scab) or spongospora subterranea (powdery scab). #potato #marispiper #growing #crop #testdig #good #soil #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #potatoes #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming ##instapotato #instapic https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwim0yFN8x/?igshid=14s3wnj58e6ky

Silver scurf, Helminthosporium Solani, on Maris Piper tubers just lifted from the soil. Silver scurf normally develops in store so to have it visible from the field is not good. The scurf will continue to develop in store but can be slowed by rapidly drying and cooling the tubers. The tuber will eventually shrivel due to moisture loss. Treating seed with a fungicide, harvesting early, thorough cleaning of stores and avoiding condensation in store can reduce the disease. #silver #scurf #potato #marispiper #solani #fungicide #good #storage #bestpractice #harvest #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #agriculture #farming #farm365 #potatoes #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #aardappel #kartoffel #instapotato #instapic https://www.instagram.com/p/B26sVigJxyx/?igshid=1h9vut5bhoffc
