Sweet Potato Plants and Seeds

Good sweetpotatoes start with good seed. Sweetpotato seed has to be updated constantly, because it loses quality rapidly from one year to the next. Virus can quickly infect an entire crop; resulting in low yields, poor quality, and misshapen roots Scott Farms is one of only a few farms in the world that grow micropropogated, virus free plants for sweetpotato production.

Micropropogation involves eliminating all viruses that may affect the growing potential of a sweetpotato plant. This is not a genetic alteration in any way. This process simply brings the plant back to its original state-free of all viruses and other afflictions.

Source "mother plants" are taken to our specifically designed greenhouse and increased by taking small cuttings and transplanting them into hanging baskets. Every plant in our greenhouse has a record. In the event of a virus outbreak, each infected plant and its relatives are removed and destroyed. This is done to insure that only the highest quality sweetpotato plants anywhere reach our fields.

Virus free plants mean amazing yields, uniform roots, and outstanding storage capabilities. This program was created so commercial growers could obtain better seed stock, thus producing higher quality sweetpotatoes on less acreage. Whether you are a commercial grower, or just need a few plants for your garden, Scott Farms can provide you with the plant you need to grow a better sweetpotato.
