Do potato seeds exist and if so, how are they used in the cultivation of potatoes?

Potato seeds do exist, but they are not the same as the seeds of other plants. Instead of planting potato seeds, farmers typically plant pieces of the potato itself, known as seed potatoes. These seed potatoes are cut into smaller pieces, each containing an "eye" or bud, which will grow into a new potato plant. This method is used to propagate and cultivate potatoes.


How do sweet potatoes grow?

There are a couple different ways. 1. You can lay the potato out in the sun until sprouts come out, then cut the potato into pieces so that each piece gets 1 to 4 sprouts. Then let the pieces scab out over night and plant them. Each piece will grow a new potato. 2. You can buy a small plant at a nursery or a Home Depot. 3. You can plant the entire potato and let it grow other potatoes off of it.

yes, when I used to grow potatoes in my garden, I would just quarter a potato and plant the pieces. Certainly. Potatoes are often 'seeded' with a potato that has eyes growing that is cut up and planted rather than starting them from seed.


Why you have to plant the cut pieces with eye pointing upward?

The stalk of the new potato grows from the eye, and it has to grow upward in order to reach the sunlight. If you planted it with the eye facing down, it would only have to curve around in order to grow upward, and that would be a pointless inefficiency.
