From Spain, potatoes slowly spread to Italy and other European countries during the late 1500s.
You might be thinking “How does potato blight spread from tuber to tuber?”
One thought is that The blight spores will fall or be washed down by rain onto the soil and any exposed tubers. Once in a tuber it will spread from tuber to tuber and infect the entire crop. Potato blight affected tubers (the actual potato) by can be told by dark patches on the skin.
How do potatoes grow?
Instead, they grow from small cubes of tubers cut into chunks with at least two ” potato eyes” known as seed potatoes. These eyes are what sprout and form new tubers underground for digging and eating.
When I was reading we ran into the question “How do potatoes grow from seed?”.
Here is what I researched. the cut potato piece or “seed” piece provides the new sprout or seedling with nourishment from its supply of stored starch. The top, leafy part of the plant puts on a lot of growth in the first four to five weeks after planting. 5 best spuds, 4 best weather, or 3 storage may be helpfull too.
Here is what I stumbled across. You plant a whole, small potato, or a piece of a larger one for a new plant. The whole potato or cut piece has several slightly recessed, dormant buds or “eyes” on the surface. When conditions are right, these buds will sprout, whether the potatoes are in the ground or in a kitchen cupboard. The sprouts then develop into independent plants.
Individual tubers typically have between two and ten buds or eyes spiraling around their surfaces, according to the International Potato Center. The eyes of a potato might initially just look to you like little dimples in the potato’s surface—but when they start to sprout, that’s a sign that the potato itself is ready to grow new tubers.
Why do potatoes grow eyes?
A potato’s eyes only form and sprout under favorable growing conditions and after breaking from a dormant state. Many times, stored potatoes break dormancy when they find their space favorable for sprouting, causing the potatoes in your cupboard to grow sprouting eyes.
Our answer is that in fact, potatoes are third in importance for human consumption after only rice and wheat, according to the research-for-development organization, the International Potato Center. And potatoes’ eyes, it turns out, has a lot to do with their robustness and longevity as a crop.
