National Potato Conference, February, 2002

Apart from the necessity to pre-sprout early potatoes, pre-sprouting also has many advantages for producers of second early and maincrop producers. In the Irish climate with its short growing season, and wet autumns, earlier harvesting frequently results in reduced damage, bruising, disease, and crops safely in store before the frosts arrive. The ideal system for successfully pre-sprouting or chitting seed should allow every tuber to have good access to light and air so that only strong short and green sprouts are produced. These will be healthy and be resistant to damage during planting.
