On various modes of planting the potato, with a view to the most profitable crop
journal contribution
posted on 2023-11-22, 11:24 authored by William Thomas DenisonIt may be interesting to the Society to have a record of the results of certain experiments recently carried on under my directions within the Domain in a paddock which has been under cultivation for several years.
The object of these experiments was, in the first place, to ascertain the effect produced by under-draining the land; and, in the second, to decide upon the best mode of planting potatoes,—that is, the mode by which any given area of land could be made to produce the most profitable crop.
