https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/potatoextension/north-dakota-fresh-market-potato-cultivar-selection-trial-results-for-2020
Potato cultivars or selections included in this report were selected from recently released cultivars, advancing selections with release potential (numbered lines progressing through the trial process), or cultivars that are new to the U.S. Standard potato cultivars used by growers served as checks. The agronomic data presented in Tables 1 and 2 were analyzed statistically. These analyses allow the reader to ascertain, at a predetermined level of confidence, if the differences observed among cultivars/selections are reliable, or if they might be due to error inherent in the experimental process.No publisher2021-02-16T16:00:00ZNews ItemVideo presentations for the MN and ND Seed Reports for 2020 & PVY Spread

https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/potatoextension/cover-crops-in-potatoes
Cover crops are plants grown between cash crops for the purpose
of soil conservation. Cover crops reduce erosion from wind and water, and over time
will improve and maintain soil organic matter and soil health. Additionally, cover crops
may aid in pest management, increase soil biodiversity and carbon, reduce loss of
nutrients, and can increase nutrient availability. In many cases, cover crops have been
shown to increase yields of cash crops.No publisher2020-11-05T19:59:36ZNews ItemPotato Tuber Second Growth
https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/potatoextension/potato-tuber-second-growth
Potato tubers are the result of the plant genetics and the environmental conditions in which they are grown. Potato varieties are selected carefully for tubers that have desirable appearance to maximize sales and reduce waste. However, some years can cause more environmental stress than others, resulting in tuber secondary growth. Secondary growth often manifests as heat sprouts, tuber chaining and tuber malformations. This physiological disorder decreases yield and quality of the tubers in the field.No publisher2020-09-24T16:42:03ZNews ItemNDSU Potato Breeding Program Handout

https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/potatoextension/spud-scoop-september-12-2020
Welcome to Spud Scoop for the week ending on September 12, 2020. No late blight has been reported in ND, MN and MB. This week no late blight spores were found in the spore traps. Aphid vectors were down at all locations this week with cooler temperatures slowing down reproduction and movement. With multiple nights of freezing temperatures, potato vines in many areas have died. Because of this we will be ending the spore trapping network and this newsletter for this growing season. The cooler temperatures have provided favorable harvest conditions. Ideal tuber pulp temperature for harvest is 45 to 65 F. Yesterday was 9/11, and as Dr. Ian MacRae said “let’s take a moment to remember those brave individuals who run towards danger in order to safeguard us all.” Have a happy and safe harvest!
