Cost of producing seedling tubers-small tubers from densely planted TPS-in plastic house-protected nursery beds in four sites during the spring season 1989 in Egypt are measured. Average yields were 7.7 Kg/m2, an improvement over previous levels. Peat moss and plastic were the most important single cost items as they represent about 44% of the total cost. The cost of TPS was 2% of total costs . The cost of producing one ton of seedling tubers was $ 571 and the results indicated that the cost of planting material on a unit area basis can be reduced by 48% by using seedling tubers vs traditional seed tubers.
