Treat Seed Potatoes
The grower who does no* treat his seed potatoeg before planting to prevent diseasg is opnly inviting trouble from spoilage after he gigs the crop, Purdue University patholcgists say.
Thusands of farmerg have found that the disinfection of seed no‘aloes before planting is an aid in reducing losses caused by common scab, rhizoctonia and black leg, ail of which reduce the- quality and often make the tubers unmarketable. Treat ‘ment, however, dees not contro! such vine disease as wilts, blights, leaf roll, ete. Four ounceg of corresive sublimate (mercuric chloride) dissived in hot water and added to 30 gallons of coid water, is recommended as ar effective solution for disease contro!l. Only wooden or concrete containers should be used. Rain or soft water should be used. The standard time of treatments is one and one half hours in the solution followed bhy rapid drying. As the treatment is poisonous -the potatoes should not be used fr food. It is no. dangeroug externally. The hot formaldehyde (reatment requires only three minutes. In this a pint of 40 per cent commercial for ’maldehyde is added to each 15 gal‘long of water. Thy solution should be heated to the temperature of 123 to 1256 degrees F. Wire baskets can be used for holding the potatoes. The potatoes should not be plarted for a ‘'week or 10 days after the traatment. ~ BSix ounceg of mercuric chloride tol one quart of commercial hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) is p'aced in a non-metallic container with 25 gallons of water. Five minutes is sufficient unlesg the potatees have many large sclerotia (black raised spots). They may be left in the solution for 40 minutes without harm. The solution ig sufficlent for 40 bushels. The potatoes may Dz plant ed the same day or stored, providing they are dried first in case cut potatoes are treated they should be planted immnediately.
