As the potato crop grows to full canopy, growers are constantly monitoring nutrient levels in the plants. At Pest Pros we take potato “petiole” samples in our customers fields on a weekly basis to provide up to the minute nutrient values. If adjustments need to made the growers can react quickly. Randy Van Haren demonstrates the how-tos of petiole sampling to our interns as we will start sampling next week on nearly every field we look at. To watch a video of the process, click here.
