Irrigation Preferences of Florida Potato Farmers and the Economic Effects of Cost Share on Subirrigation-Drainage Tile Installation

Hope Nelson, John Lai, Judyson de Matos Oliveira, andLincoln Zotarelli

Improvements to agricultural irrigation systems come with both benefits and costs. Cost share programs are crucial for Florida potato growers considering updating their irrigation systems from seepage to subirrigation with drain tile. This publication aims to inform potato growers, Extension agents, crop consultants, representatives of the fertilizer and irrigation industry, state and local agencies, the academic community, and interested Florida citizens of the cost, benefits, and production budgets involved in drain tile installation in potato operations both with and without cost share programs.

Seed Piece Spacing Recommendations for Table-Stock Potato Cultivars in Florida

Christian T. Christensen, Lakesh Sharma, andLincoln Zotarelli

This new 6-page publication of the UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences Department focuses on the adjustment of potato seed piece spacing of table-stock cultivars for Florida production. The aim is to provide management strategies that minimize potato seed costs, increase yield, and reach the marked demand for specific tuber size distribution, all of which are important factors for the table-stock potato industry. Written by Mario H. M. L. Andrade, Luis G. Pesantes, Christian T. Christensen, Lakesh Sharma and Lincoln Zotarelli.
