Abstract
Demand for tablestock potatoes with a smaller tuber size profile is increasing. A study assessing the effect of narrow row width on fresh market yield and economic value was conducted in 2022 and 2023, near Becker, MN, and Inkster, ND, using a split-plot design with factorial arrangement of treatments. Five row widths (71, 76, 81, 86, and 91 cm as the standard industry row width) and four cultivars (Agata, Musica, Modoc, and Red Norland) were evaluated. No differences in total yield or A-size tuber yield (≥ 5.7 to −1 . Narrower row widths of 71 to 76 cm increased B-size tuber yield and net returns compared to 91 cm industry standard.
