There are many stages to the production of potatoes. Seed selection, land preparation, planting, pest control, irrigation, harvest, and storage. Now that the tubers are successfully under a roof, it is time to maximize the return on your investment. Every crop, variety, and end use require dedicated management to ensure the crop you put into storage exits your storage with minimal reduction of return on investment.

Every grower knows that a high yielding, high quality potato crop requires good nitrogen management. Too much of a good thing really can be a problem, however. Excessive nitrogen is not only a waste of money and problematic for leaching, it can decrease tuber set, delay tuber maturation, reduce the quality of the crop, and reduce storability.
