Growth cracking is a physiological disorder of the potato tuber in which the tuber splits while growing. The split heals but leaves a fissure in the tuber. Growth cracks generally start at the bud or apical end of the potato and can extend lengthwise. Growth cracks can vary in severity from appearing as a surface abrasion to a split through the tuber. The severity depends on the stage of growth the initial cracking occurred. This document is HS930, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
