Here is our Tech Sheet for successful production from Certified Seed Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). Please open and inspect your shipment immediately. We recommend planting them outside as soon as possible...
Greensprouting, also known as chitting or presprouting, breaks the dormancy of seed potatoes prior to planting. Greensprouting results in earlier plant emergence and advances the potato harvest by as much as 2 weeks.
'Red Gold' potatoes are an early variety, and naturally break dormancy earlier than most other potatoes. Observe the guidelines in this Tech Sheet for optimal results with your 'Red Gold' seed potatoes.
