Whole vs. Cut Seed Potatoes: Yield Comparison

No significant yield difference per plant. Cutting yields more plants per potato — each piece with eyes grows into full plant producing similar harvest.

Commercial Planting

Mechanical planters use whole or cut seed depending on equipment — not a home gardener concern. Focus on: certified disease-free seed, proper spacing (12"), hilling as plants grow.

Home gardeners: cut to multiply seed stock, cure cut surfaces 1-2 days before planting to prevent rot.
