Sweet Potato Trial: Improve Seedbed Performance & Rooting with Albit® 2017

NC State, Brandon Parker - Benson, NC | 2017

Stronger Starts Begin with Albit®
This Sweet Potato Trial in Benson, NC (2017) evaluated Albit® as part of the seedbed spray program and rooting prep. From early-stage development through sprout production, Albit® consistently improved both the quality and quantity of planting material.

When applied during seedbed establishment, Albit® boosted sprout production—delivering a 50% increase in planting material per acre compared to the standard check. That means more acres planted from the same seedbed area, offering huge efficiency gains for growers.

In rooting trials, slips soaked in Albit® showed stronger and earlier root development than untreated slips—starting as soon as 48 hours after treatment. These enhanced roots support quicker transplant establishment, better nutrient uptake, and reduced early stress.

Albit® helps deliver a faster start, more usable slips, and stronger root systems—giving sweet potato growers a real edge before planting even begins.
