table potato: Production specifications

Location:
all types of soil
Planting material preparation:
it is recommended to condition and prepare the seed
Chemical seed treatment:
recommended against rhizoctonia
Plant canape development:
uniform emergence at medium foliage development
light soil:
32 cm | 42,000 pcs/ha
Heavy soil:
30 cm | 44,000 pcs/ha
Planting depths + hill shape:
1-2 cm deeper than usual with accurate ridge structure

Fertilization

Nitrogen (N):
