volunteer rate, rate of volunteerism Explanation: Crop plants that come up the following year, either from seeds or in the case of potatoes, tubers that were left in the field after harvest, are called "volunteers." And potatoes do indeed volunteer in growing regions with milder winters like the southern US, whereas in growing regions with cold winters the tubers are frozen and killed.
