Storage can be tricky most seasons and this year will threw up many issues as the season goes on. Stocks need to be properly dried and cured and checked regularly over the coming weeks / months and movement plans changed to suit. Storage advice is available anytime from www.allaboutpotatoes.co.uk or by messaging.

Many seed and ware varieties have growth cracks this season from Rhizoctonia. These vary from small lines to deep cracks. Ware will be hit hard for this without a change to intake specifications and seed stocks are being picked hard to pass inspections. This will also reduce the availability of some seed varieties further.

Rhizoctonia Solani can affect potato tubers and plants in many ways. It can attack sprouts when the tubers are starting to grow and if conditions are correct can result in non emergence. It can also reduce root mass which will affect the growth of the plant. There are also many tuber conditions like black scurf, 'elephant skin, tuber cracking and small holes with the distinctive Rhizoctonia mark around the entrance. These can all be small surface marks that would not affect the potatoes marketable qualities right through to full coverage. Anything above 10% skin coverage will reduce a potatoes market value.

For more information go to The Potato Forum.

Too late for a second flush of tubers this year. Now chopped due to initial tubers being up to size.

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum affected potato stem with mycelium. Stems often turn soft and leaves turn yellow and can be confused with blackleg. The stems will become a grey/white colour with a woody look. The mycelium contain sclerotia which survive in the soil over winter. Spores then form and when mature they are released in large volumes and are spread across the field on the wind.

Tubers up to 50mm now so we will have a crop this season. Rain forecast this week so mixed with warm soils could lead to rapid growth so will need to keep an eye on crops over the next 5 to 10 days.

It is so hot for walking and digging crops. Truck said it was 26 degrees at the last look, pouring sweat and covered in dust to add to it. Marfona seed crop looking good, numbers not high in some crops though.

Secondary Potato Leaf Roll Virus ( PLRV ) showing in a ware crop. Original infection occurring in the latter part of last season. This virus will reduce numbers of tubers produced by the plant.

Full emergence now showing in many fields. Little difference in fields planted end of April to fields planted near end of May. Later planted crops through quickly with warmer, moist soils perfect for getting the tubers growing and through the soil fast.

Conditions still dry, not much moisture left in the bed to hold any shape. Hillers will be required to reshape drills in some soils after we get some moisture. Irrigators on standby.

Soils still on the cold side at 7 degrees and drying out fast. Tubers going into soil that is warmer will help to promote faster growth and get to emergence as quick as possible.

Afternoon soil temperatures almost at 9 degrees C at 30 cm. Good moisture levels in the soil. Still the odd wet pocket in a lot of fields but it has dried up well in the past few weeks. Crops are certainly starting to move now in fields across the county as conditions continue to improve.

Seed movement is at full speed as planting continues across the UK with some excellent conditions and continued dry weather. As bags of seed arrive on farm, check the label and a full QC should be carried out before the bags are emptied. Bags should be emptied as soon as possible after arriving and if not being planted within a couple of days, either put in a store with good air movement or a cold store. The seed potatoes should be brought out of cold store a couple of days before planting to warm up and acclimatise before planting.

Harvest 2020 has been an ordeal that is still going on for some, especially in parts of the East of the UK. The rain in August had water levels rising to surface levels and higher. Then came three weeks of dry that allowed many crops to be harvested in excellent conditions but by the end it was too dry leading to high levels of bruising in ware crops. This was followed by many days of heavy rain that have saturated soils leaving many fields under water and not passable by foot let alone machinery. Crops are now being lifted slowly using a lot of machinery and manpower filling boxes with a lot of soil, rots and some potatoes. If possible, these potatoes should be run over a grader or pre cleaner to remove the worst of the soil and rots, then dry the boxes for as long as possible to dry and cure the potatoes. Long storage is not recommended for any late, wet lifted potatoes and these should be sold as soon as possible.

Black dot, Collectotrichum Coccodes, a soil borne fungal disease, can effect plant sterns, roots, stolons and tubers towards the end of the growing season. The disease will develop faster in warm, wet soils and continue to slowly develop once cooled in store. The tubers will have small greyish brown patches that start to develop on the tuber surface. The small black dots, microsclerotia, are just visible to the eye but can be clearly seen with a hand lens. Black dot is less common than silver scurf and does look similar at a glance. With the use of a lens the black dot microsclerotia are small dots further apart than the whispy black lines of silver scurf. Tubers going into store with black dot should be dried and pulled down to holding temperature quicker than normal to slow the progress. The stored tubers will turn a darker brown colour over time making selling into the pre-pack market difficult. The microsclerotia survive in the soil on ground keepers and on other plant root systems. Best practice is for long rotation, plant clean seed and harvest early.

Two meter dig on Maris Piper crop, good size, better numbers in this crop. Many tubers still below a 55mm but will need to check again in about a week as the leaders are at 65mm+. Good moisture levels in the bed and no signs of streptomyces scabies (common scab) or spongospora subterranea (powdery scab).
