Micropropagated Sweetpotato “Seed”
and Slips
for Commercial Growers
North Carolina is leading the rest of the country in production of certified
micropropagated, virus-indexed planting stocks (“seed” roots &
plants) of sweetpotatoes. Enzor Farms is proud to be one of only 15 Certified
growers producing micropropagated, virus-indexed sweetpotato “seed”
stock in North Carolina. Our “seed” sweetpotatoes are produced
annually from Foundation plants that come directly from the NC State University
Micropropagation Unit. These plants are inspected by NC Crop Improvement,
Inc. and sold by NC Foundation Seed Producers, Inc.

Our sweetpotato plants are vegetatively propagated in a carefully controlled
environment and have been checked for pathogens and other pests. The result
is virus-indexed, pathogen-free, true-to-variety “seed” stock
that produces beautiful, nicely shaped sweetpotatoes with smooth skin. Micropropagated
sweetpotatoes produce fewer culls and higher pack-outs, which translates
into more money in the growers’ pocket.
This year we will offer three varieties of sweetpotato plants and “seed”
roots: Beauregard B-14, Hernandez, and O’Henry. All varieties are sold
in multiples of 1000 plants and are available May-June.
Please contact our farm by phone, email or fax for prices and to order our
top quality micropropagated stock.
