Webcast discusses potato growth, development

Healthy tuber development and higher yields are two common goals among potato growers. But without a good understanding of the key growth and yield factors, maximizing success is difficult. The latest Focus on Potato presentation by Mike Thornton, Ph.D., professor of plant science at the University of Idaho, focuses on key factors that influence plant development at each stage of growth and then identifies how they impact crop yield. By the end of this presentation, users will better understand the key growth stages in potato plant development and how environment and management impact potato growth and yield. This 20-minute presentation is open access through Nov. 30.
