Crop4Sight has launched the UK’s first dynamic seed rate tool for planning potato crops

Optimising the seed rate (t/ha of input seed) is a crucial first step in efficient potato crop production, because it controls the plant, stem and tuber population. Crop tuber populations need to be matched to the target yield to achieve the required net yield. To help achieve this Crop4Sight has launched the UK’s first dynamic seed rate tool for planning potato crops. It generates target benchmarks for stem and tuber populations from the very start of the season.
