NCPN Testimonals
The cleaner the seed, the less virus you’ll have, and the more saleable product you’ll have.”
Matt Alvernaz, sweetpotato grower, packer, shipper,
Merced County, California
“Having clean healthy plants and seed has increased yield and pack-out for us and our customers. The clean seed program is a MUST HAVE for us to produce high quality and yield, to supply the growing demand for healthy great sweetpotatoes.”
“The clean plant program has given our commercial production the economic confidence to increase all input levels in a constant effort to reach for greater financial returns per acre.”
