It is better to plant the cut pieces of potato with the eye pointing upward so that it can help in sprouting of the bud.
- Each eye of a potato acts like a bud from which a plant will be formed.
- In order for it to sprout, the eye of the potato shall receive more sunlight so that it can sprout.
- This is the reason that the eye in a cut piece of potato is planted upwards.
- It is only after sprouting that roots and shoots will grow from the eye of the potato.
