Hoped for a bit more but will take 15mm. Some places for a lot more and caused a lot of damage. Still looking dry for the next few weeks so the potatoes will hopefully do a bit of bulking over the next couple of days. www.allaboutpotatoes.co.uk www.thepotatoforum.co.uk #thepotatoforum #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #potato #potatoes #spuds #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #instapotato #instapic https://www.instagram.com/p/CgcnvZYMoCY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aerial tubers developing on stems infected with Rhizoctonia Solani. The potato trying to ensure it survives into next year by producing the aerial tubers while under stress after the root system has been attacked. www.thepotatoforum.co.uk #thepotatoforum #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #potato #potatoes #spuds #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #instapotato #instapic https://www.instagram.com/p/CgU36zBslll/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some crops doing well and still standing up in the drought and others are wilting fast. No moisture left in the bed to support the plants. #drought #resilience #needsomerain #thepotatoforum #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #potato #potatoes #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #instapotato #instapic https://www.instagram.com/p/CgMnweBM1m4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

31 degrees earlier for test digging and a more manageable 24 now for rogueing. Sun has gone down now which helps see things. Hottest day for this in a long time. Even more tomorrow! #testdigs #rogueing #sohot #sunny #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #potatoes #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #instapotato #instapic https://www.instagram.com/p/CgKxQkkMZs8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A good day at Potatoes in Practice. Great to see so many farmers, producers, traders and everyone else who attended. First proper meeting in at least a 18 months, muddy under foot but dry for the event. Many new varieties from the seed houses to think about. It is good to be back. #potatoesinpractice #jameshuttoninstitute #caledoniapotatoes, #skeaorganics #solanaseeds #grampiangrowers #greenvaleseeds #stetpotato #ipmpotatogroup #meijerpotatoes #branstonpotatoes #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #potato #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #potatoes #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #instapotato #potatoesofinstsagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CSe3ZiCsvj3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Secondary Potato Leaf Roll Virus ( PLRV ) showing in a ware crop. Original infection occurring in the latter part of last season. This virus will reduce numbers of tubers produced by the plant. #thepotatoforum #PLRV #potato #leaf #roll #virus #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #backbritishfarming #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #potatoes #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #instapotato #instapic https://www.instagram.com/p/CRChqTsHDXs/?utm_medium=tumblr

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

Warmer in the fridge than outside today. Seed holding well, couple of weeks to go before coming out to warm up for planting. #seed #plant22 #potato #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #potatoes #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #instapotato #instapic https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-3P7Qs8gD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Rhizoctonia Solani can affect potato tubers and plants in many ways. It can attack sprouts when the tubers are starting to grow and if conditions are correct can result in non emergence. It can also reduce root mass which will affect the growth of the plant. There are also many tuber conditions like black scurf, 'elephant skin, tuber cracking and small holes with the distinctive Rhizoctonia mark around the entrance. These can all be small surface marks that would not affect the potatoes marketable qualities right through to full coverage. Anything above 10% skin coverage will reduce a potatoes market value. For more information go to The Potato Forum. #rhizoctonia #solani #root #tuber #thepotatoforum #potato #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #potatoes #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #instapotato #instapic https://www.instagram.com/p/CaLEFpRMKQJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Helminthosporium Solani. Silver scurf on ware crops can devalue a stock destined for Grade A packing to a peeling job in a matter of weeks and harm seed tubers by affecting the eyes and growth rates.

We are now into the new year and hopefully stores are working well and efficiently to keep stocks in a marketable condition.
