In field trials, the mean total tuber yield from planting whole 35-150 g tubers (47.9 t per ha) was significantly higher than from planting Run grade seed. Yields of 35-100 g and 101-150 g tubers were also significantly higher with plantings of whole seed compared with Cut or Run seed. The mean yield of tubers greater than 250 g was significantly higher from planting Run grade seed (12.0 t per ha) than whole 35-150 g tubers. Increasing the within row spacing from 25 to 33.3 or 40 cm significantly increased the yield of tubers greater than 250 g and significantly reduced the yield of 101-150 g tubers. The effect on yield of 35-100 g, 151-250 g tubers and total tuber yield was variable. The mean multiplication rate from plantings of 101-150g whole seed was significantly lower than from plantings of Cut and Run seed but was increased significantly with plantings of whole 35-100 g seed. Increasing the withing row spacing significantly increased the multiplication rate. The mean number of tubers per plant was significantly higher from plantings of whole seed (8.0-9.1) than from Cut or Run grade seed and was significantly by increasing the within row spacings from 25 to 33.3 or 40 cm.
