Choose the propagation stage first
Minitubers and seed potatoes for further multiplication serve different stages of a growing plan. Start with the intended next crop, then compare variety, batch identity, grade and quantity. Tuber size alone does not establish a seed generation.
Minitubers
Connect plantlet production with further multiplication. Confirm source, lot, count, size or weight range, dormancy and sprout condition.
Seed potatoes for multiplication
Confirm generation, the applicable grading scheme, health documentation, size range and delivery window.
A connected production sequence
Keep source identity connected through the stages. A finished tuber’s appearance cannot replace propagation and batch records.
Agree the delivery specification
| Item | What to agree |
|---|---|
| Variety & purpose | Growing region and intended next crop. |
| Generation | Grading scheme and propagation records; a G0 or G1 label alone does not establish equivalence. |
| Quantity & size | Count or weight basis, size range and pack unit. |
| Health & condition | Tested targets, batch documents, damage, dormancy and sprout condition. |
| Timing | Planting date, transit duration and storage on arrival. |
Check the lot on arrival
Match labels, variety, quantity and size to the order. Record the lot, inspection time and photographs when checking damage, rot or sprouts. Separate suspect material and discuss it before mixing lots.
Prepare your supply enquiry
Share the growing region, variety, propagation stage, quantity, planting date and delivery destination. Confirm the final grade, specification and acceptance criteria in the order.
