A potato is the seed or tuber of the plant so it will produce a new plant.
yes because you can plant a lobster seed and a potato seed in the same hole so it grows a lobpotato.
you have to let the seed dry all the way through it so you can plant a potato fruit.
potatoes arent usually grown from seed but from potato cuttings.
Potatoes can be planted with corn, cabbage, beans, eggplant (a greater attraction to the Colorado potato beetle) and marigolds.
Yes, but it would be better to sow the seeds from inside it. Sowing potato seed is the only way of breeding/producing new varieties.
If you want to plant potatoes, you would not want "seed" you would want seed potatoes. If you look at a potato , you will see what are called eyes, which are actually sprouts. Cut the potato into 1/4 sections, having several eyes on each section. Plant this and with ample moisture, it will sprout. Plant approx. 3" deep. If you leave one in the bag, too long, it can also sprout, but will not make potatoes. potatoes are a tuber, and new potatoes will form on the root system in the ground. ( nodules)
Plants which do not have seeds have been engineered to lose the seeds because they are preferred by consumers. Plants without seeds could be due to the fact that the flowers have not been developed. As the fruit matures, seeds will develop. When you plant a potato because there are sprouts coming out of the eyes or nodes, you are able to plant them because the potato is a underground stem. Plants without seeds reproduce asexually using spores, like mosses and ferns; plants with seeds use sexual reproduction with pollination.
Yes, in fact potatoes have a fruit. This is the most poisonous part of the plant however and must not be eaten.
That depends. If the plant is dead, then planting a seed beneath it can be beneficial, because as the dead plant decays, it will release nutrients into the soil that will help the seed to grow healthily. Planting a seed under a live plant, however, is typically unwise, since either the seed will kill the living plant, or the living plant will kill the seed, or both will survive, but make each other unhealthy.
You could try drying the seeds and planting them just for grins. There is no way to guarantee you'll get a good plant because it may have crossed with some other potato and it will likely produce the potato version of a mutt. It is best to start your spuds from seed potatos. You cut a large spud in quarters, each quarter with 2 to 3 eyes, and let them set in cool storage over the winter. When you plant the seed potatoes, the result is genetically the same as the original plant.
