Growing Recommendations

• Crop rotation should be taken into account.

• Tubers should not be planted immediately after removal from cold storage.
• For high tuber counts, pre-sprouting for 7 to 10 days before planting is recommended.
• Soil temperature should be at least 12°C before planting.
• Fertilizer amounts should be adjusted based on soil analysis results.
• Note: Seed potatoes must not be cut under any circumstances.
