When planting potatoes how many pounds per acre?

Potato seed requirements depend on several factors, including seed size, desired plant population, and row spacing. On average, 1,500 to 2,500 pounds of seed potatoes per acre are recommended. Smaller seed pieces (1-2 ounces) may be planted at higher rates, while larger seed pieces (3-4 ounces) can be planted at lower rates. Wider row spacing also requires more seed potatoes per acre. For example, a row spacing of 36 inches may require 2,000 pounds of seed potatoes per acre, while a row spacing of 24 inches may require 2,500 pounds per acre.
