Potato Quote

‘When some Colombian potato varieties are lightly grazed by a pest, the plants respond by growing larger tubers, at times doubling their yields. . . .The option of increasing productivity based on the compensatory plant response could open the door to a decrease in insecticide use.’

— Krishna Ramanujan, ‘When Pests Graze Certain Potatoes, Yields Double’, Cornell Chronicle, 10 January 2018.
