Over 2000-2002 there was investigated the effect of seed potato sprouting of two mid-early potato cultivars (Balbina and Mila) on the potato tuber infection with spore-forming rhizoctoniosis and common scab and on the tuber yield and its structure, especially the seed potato fraction. The results demonstrated that sprouting seed potatoes significantly reduced the infection of tubers with common scab and increased the share of tubers infected with black scurf, however it did not show a significant effect on the total yield increase yet it increased the seed potato fraction, especially in Mila.
