Lets start with the POTATO: clockwork schedule of pesticide application, Before the crop is even planted, the soil is treated with insecticides to kill wireworms, Potato "seeds" are routinely drenched with fungicide immediately after cutting, Systemic insecticides, which penetrate the entire potato plant, are generally applied at "hilling" time, when the young potato plants are covered with dirt, Blight is generally attacked by broad-spectrum fungicides, Blight is generally attacked by broad-spectrum fungicides, every potato crop is virtually guaranteed a fungicide bath, helped along by chemical dessicants, To help the 'ripening' process often with diesel fuel and herbicidal oils are used to dry the plant. Sprayed again to prevent 'budding'. And then it goes to MickyD's! Oh ya, it may even be a GMO PO TAA TOE, Yummy.
