all type of soil

Planting material preparation:

it is recommended to condition and prepare the seed; presprouting for a earlier harvest is possible

Chemical seed treatment:

recommended against rhizoctonia

Plant canape development:

uniform emergence with rapid foliage development

Nitrogen (N):

140-160 kg/ha incl. Nmin

Phosphorus (P₂O₅):

60-80 kg/ha

Potassium (K₂O):

250-300 kg/ha

use chloride-free potassium fertilizer to ensure early starch content; split the potassium application on light and/or irrigated soils

Magnesium (MgO):

80-100 kg/ha

Herbicides:

herbicides only before emergence, no use of herbicides containing metribuzin

Fungicides:

according to local warning service, incorporate Alternaria treatment early into the fungicide strategy (early start of spraying)

Insecticides:

according to local warning service (if available)

At harvest considerations:

careful harvesting; avoid tuber temperatures <10°C; check skin set before harvesting, green harvesting possible - very low weed hanging

Storage:

long dormancy with good to very good storability for this market segment
