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=

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.

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

Too late for a second flush of tubers this year. Now chopped due to initial tubers being up to size. #thepotatoforum #toolate #harvest21 #potato #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #potatoes #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #instapotato #instapic #potatoesofinstsagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPGBnns-K4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum affected potato stem with mycelium. Stems often turn soft and leaves turn yellow and can be confused with blackleg. The stems will become a grey/white colour with a woody look. The mycelium contain sclerotia which survive in the soil over winter. Spores then form and when mature they are released in large volumes and are spread across the field on the wind. #thepotatoforum #sclerotinia #mycelium #potato #growing #potatoknowledge #allaboutpotatoes #bestpractice #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #potatoes #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #instapotato #instapic #potatoesofinstsagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CR8lvrFhBJB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tubers up to 50mm now so we will have a crop this season. Rain forecast this week so mixed with warm soils could lead to rapid growth so will need to keep an eye on crops over the next 5 to 10 days. #thepotatoforum #tubers #size #growing #potato #plant21 #allaboutpotatoes #potatoknowledge #agriculture #farming #farm365 #farm #papa #patata #batata #pommedeterre #potatoes #aardappel #kartoffel #potatofarm #potatofarmer #potatofarming #potatoesofinstagram #instapotato #instapic https://www.instagram.com/p/CRy48JHn0mC/?utm_medium=tumblr
