Bulk of Southern Ontario Potatoes Planted in Last Week

The majority of Ontario’s potato crop was seeded over the past week, the May 21 vegetable crop report from ONvegtables, says.

Growers are being recommended to check on seed piece health in fields which were planted before the stretch of frosts, the report notes. “The crop may be slower to emerge so keep that in mind when applying your pre-emerge herbicides.”
