Hollow Heart is a physiological disorder of potatoes, i.e. there is no pathogen involved. Some potato varieties are more susceptible than others, but when conditions are right , no variety seems entirely unaffected.
Various factors can cause the problem:- Susceptible variety, low soil temperatures at tuber initiation, high soil moisture, wide planting (therebye encouraging larger tubers), excess nitrogen application late in the season, growing in acidic soils, low potassium in soils.
So the main factors to control in order to minimise the problem reoccurring are :- Change variety ( if HH regularly occurs), closer planting, ensure a soil PH around 6 is maintained, adequate potassium levels in the soil and delay planting areas that are wet and have low soil temperatures in spring.
There is not much that can be done about weather conditions, but this year seems to have been ideal for problems in potatoes. Slugs,blight and now Hollow Heart.
