“Throughout my experiences in production and processing, from the delights of fancy restaurants to even McDonald’s, potato fertility has been a major consideration in presenting the abundance and quality of this menu staple. Genetics, location, and thus the environment, crop protection, storage, and processing are huge, but the glue holding these components together is plant fertility." - Dr. J. Julian Smith

In the article linked below, Dr. Julian Smith offers “A different perspective on practical fertility programs to enhance the yield and quality of potatoes”. Dr. Smith also explains how specialty agricultural products from Crop Excellence can help potato growers along the way.
