bud loss on potatoes
« on: May 25, 2009, 18:29:57 »
My potato crop is looking good and healthy and a couple of plants are in flower. The rest have buds waiting to flower but in the last couple of days I noticed some buds have dropped off and if I shake the plant more drop off. What is the problem. Will it affect the crop.

                                                     Cheers Joe

It won't affect the crop, many new varieties are sterile and don't set seed.  :)
