Default Worth1 Question

What do commercial growers of seed potatoes put on the potatoes to stop virus and blight?
Nothing, no really nothing. They do very comprehensive field inspection and scientific lab work to determine that all are free of any issues. This is very rigorous work to become or continue certification of disease free.

This seed potato business in southwest Montana is worth many Billions of dollars locally and many more Billions to the finial growers.
