The trial examined the viability of producing sweet potato slips locally from certified rootstocks. The rootstocks came from North Carolina, where the majority of potato slips planted in the northeast are currently sourced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Chuck-Borndt-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22198\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Chuck-Borndt-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/hvfarmhub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Chuck-Borndt.jpg 667w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><figcaption>Researcher Chuck Borndt collects data on sweet potatoes at the Farm Hub. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trial, led by Cornell Cooperative Extension\u2019s Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture Program, attempted to address the challenges of relying on out-of-state sourcing by asking the following questions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What effect do locally produced slips have on yield?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Is it economically viable to produce slips in the Hudson Valley region particularly when considering the cooler weather (when compared to North Carolina), and production costs that include the price of the slips and shipping.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sweet potatoes are a popular crop amongst Hudson Valley vegetable growers and eaters. Success in this trial could indicate that farmers could have roots shipped in and then grow their own slips in the greenhouse, thus having greater control over their own sweet potato production, says Chuck Bornt the trial\u2019s lead researcher from Cornell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October the potatoes were harvested and in early December they were graded; Borndt notes that the heavy rains and overcast days throughout the summer did not have a significant impact on yield.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019d say yields were off just a little but not by much,\u201d he says. Borndt plans on completing a report on the findings early next year and replicate the trial at the Farm Hub over the next two years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8211;<em>Amy Wu<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For more information about Cornell Cooperative Extension\u2019s sweet potato variety trials click <a href=\"https:\/\/enych.cce.cornell.edu\/crop.php?id=35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aqu\u00ed<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Farm Hub is hosting a research trial led by Cornell Cooperative Extension Eastern New York that examines the efficacy of sweet potato slip production in the Hudson Valley region.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":22196,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"featured":[],"class_list":["post-22195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-research"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
