Potato Glossary
A Potato Glossary A Potato Glossary by Richard E. Tucker Last revised 15 Sep 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Richard E. Tucker Introduction This glossary has been prepared as a companion to A Potato Chronology. In that work, a self-imposed requirement to limit each entry to a single line forced the use of technical phrases, scientific words, jargon and terminology that may be unfamiliar to many, even to those in the potato business. It is hoped that this glossary will aid those using that chronology, and it is hoped that it may become a useful reference for anyone interested in learning more about potatoes, farming and gardening. There was a time, a century or more ago, when nearly everyone was familiar with farming life, the raising of potatoes in particular and the lingo of farming in general. They were farmers themselves, they had relatives who farmed, they knew someone who was a farmer, or they worked on a nearby farm during their youth. Then, nearly everyone grew potatoes in their gardens and sold the extra. But that was a long ago time. Now the general population is now separated from the farm by several generations. Only about 2 % of the US population lives on a farm and only a tiny few more even know anyone who lives on a farm. Words and phrases used by farmers in general and potato growers in particular are now unfamiliar to most Americans. Additionally, farming has become an increasingly complex and technical endeavor. Research on the cutting edge of science is leading to new production techniques, new handling practices, new varieties, new understanding of plant physiology, soil and pest ecology, and other advances too numerous to mention. -

Grow Plasticulture Specialty Potatoes for Early-Season Profit Lewis W
Midwest Vegetable Trial Report for 2012 Grow Plasticulture Specialty Potatoes for Early-season Profit Lewis W. Jett, Extension Horticulture Specialist, West Virginia University, Morgantown, and Larry Campbell, County Agent, Harrison County, West Virginia Introduction The potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a cool-season vegetable that was under cultivation in the Andes Mountains for more than 6,000 years before the Spanish came to South America in the 16th century. Today, the potato is the most important vegetable food crop throughout the world. In West Virginia, the Irish potato has been a staple garden vegetable crop for many generations. There is a wide diversity of potato cultivars that vary in size, shape, flavor, skin color, and flesh color. Potatoes with diverse colors and shapes are classified as “specialty potatoes” and have a strong market demand in some regions of West Virginia. In 2012, 16 cultivars of specialty potatoes were evaluated in West Virginia. The site chosen was a commercial produce farm near Good Hope, West Virginia (39.1°N lat.). The soil was a clay loam with a pH of 5.5. The potatoes were grown using plasticulture technology. Plasticulture involves the use of plastic mulches, drip irrigation, fertigation, and row covers. The plastic mulch warms the soil, conserves soil moisture, and reduces weed emergence. The objective of this evaluation was to investigate the performance of several specialty potato cultivars planted in a single row versus a double (twin) row planting arrangement using plasticulture. Materials and Methods Certified seed potatoes were purchased (The Potato Garden, Austin, Colorado) and cut into individual seed pieces for planting in early April 2012 (Table 1). -

I started Grand Teton Organics 5 years ago while working as the R&D director of Parkinson Seed Farm. In the spring of 2015. I purchased Grand Teton Organics from Parkinson Seed farm. I am still the R&D director for them however the organic program now belongs to me. My knowledge of potatoes began more than 60 years ago. As a small boy I began picking potatoes by hand from the fields owed by my grand father and his sons. The tractors were very slow and the machinery was very small and each potato was handled very carefully by hand many times before it reached the consumer. As I got older I had a lot of interest in any thing that was green and growing. I liked science very much......in one earth science class we learned how to cross pollinate flowers. Armed with this knowledge I went home to my mothers tulip garden. She had only 3 colors, red, yellow and pink, after working on the tulips for about an hour I went into the house and told no one of my work. Soon this was all forgotten until the tulips came up the following spring.....and wallah.....a mix of beautiful colors had replaced the 3 original colors, only after much discussion did the true story come to light.....my mother being quite angry and my father laughing.
