Cultivars

The University of Florida Potato Variety Evaluation Program screens new germplasm from public and private breeding programs and identifies the most promising cultivars for commercial potential, considering broad adaptability to Florida climate and conditions and market purpose: processing, fresh-market, and specialty-type varieties. The Florida Potato Variety Trial Report is available at https://hos.ifas.ufl.edu/extension/variety-trials/. A summary of the most popular potato clones for Florida is presented below. Key reference: total yield: high >300 cwt/A, medium-high 250–299 cwt/A; medium 200–249 cwt/A; low-medium 150–199 cwt/A. Tuber specific gravity (SG): high >1.075, medium-high 1.070–1.074, medium 1.065–1.069, low <1.064.

Number codes are used to distinguish the main insecticide mode of action groups, with additional letters for certain subgroups within each main group. All insecticides within the same group (with the same number) indicate the same active ingredient or a similar mode of action. This information must be considered for the insecticide resistance management decisions. - = unknown, or a mode of action that has not been classified yet.

1 FRAC code (fungicide group): Number (1–54) and letters (U and P) are used to distinguish the fungicide mode of action groups. All fungicides within the same group (with same number or letter) indicate same active ingredient or similar mode of action. This information must be considered for the fungicide resistance management decisions. U = unknown, or a mode of action that has not been classified yet and is typically associated with another number; P = host plant defense inducers.

Nimitz (a.i. fluensulfone)

All applications must be incorporated either physically or via drip or overhead irrigation. Make preplant applications at a rate of 3.5–7 pt/A (56.0–80.0 fl oz/A) a minimum of 7 days before planting. Do not plant any unlisted crops into treated land for 365 days after application of the product. Do not apply more than 1 application per crop and no more than 112 fl oz/A per year (365 days). Provides control only for nematodes. Growers applying Nimitz must consult the product label to observe the plant-back (recropping) intervals for a variety of leafy vegetables and brassica crops, onions, bananas, sugarcane, and other crops.

Velum (a.i. fluopyram)

Apply max 6.84 fl oz/A using overhead chemigation equipment. Do not apply more than 13.7 fl oz/A of Velum (0.446 lb/A fluopyram) per year regardless of formulation (Velum or Luna) or method of application (soil or foliar). Do not apply within 7 days of harvest. For soil application, to limit the potential for development of disease resistance to this chemical class, the first foliar fungicide application after Velum should be a product from a different FRAC group.

Biological nematicides

See chapter 19

*Do not apply Mocap in furrow because it can cause crop injury when in contact with the seed piece. Do not apply Mocap where sorghum will be grown during the same year because its residual activity may cause serious injury to sorghum. Mix into the top 2–4 inches of soil. Do not exceed 9 lb a.i./A Mocap 15G and 12 lb a.i./A for Mocap EC.

**Vydate C-LV has registration for nematode suppression in potatoes as an in-furrow and foliar treatment program only. Each application of Vydate C-LV should be applied in a minimum of 20 gals of water per acre, the spray solution water always buffered to a pH of 5.0 or lower. Do not apply more than 2.4 gal/A (9 lb a.i./A) per season or make more than 8 applications of Vydate C-LV per crop; the last application should be made at least 7 days prior to harvest.

Mocap and Vydate are insecticide-nematicides; Velum is a fungicide-nematicide; Nimitz is a true nematicide. Unlike fumigants, these products are not volatile and will move through the soil via water; depending on the water solubility, these products will have different recommendations as for how to best apply them (see specific label recommendations); when nematode pressure is high, they may not be as consistently effective against root nematodes as the fumigants.

1 Gallons/acre and fl oz/1,000 feet provided only for mineral soils. Higher rates may be possible for heavier-textured (loam, silt, clay) or highly organic soils.

2 All the fumigants mentioned are for retail sale and use only by state certified applicators or persons under their direct supervision. New supplemental labeling for the Telone products must be in the hands of the user at the time of application. See new label details for additional use restrictions based on soil characteristics, buffer zones, requirements for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), mandatory good agricultural practices (GAPs), applicator training certification, and other new rate modifying recommendations.

3Higher application rates are possible in the presence of cyst-forming nematodes.

Rates are believed to be correct for products named, and similar products of other brand names, when applied to mineral soils. Higher rates are required for muck (organic) soils. However, the grower has the final responsibility to see that each product is used legally; read the label of the product to be sure that you are using it properly.
