Instructions for Use

Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Work the soil to a depth of 30 cm to create a loose structure that promotes root development.
Pre-Sprouting (Optional):Start pre-sprouting the potatoes about four weeks before planting in a warm, light environment. This process encourages the formation of strong shoots, accelerates growth, and shortens the time to harvest.
Planting: Timing: Plant seed potatoes early in spring, after the frost period. Spacing: Plant the potatoes in straight rows, leaving approximately 40 cm between plants and 60 cm between rows. Depth: Plant the potatoes about 10 cm deep, with the shoots facing upwards.
Care: Gradually add more soil around the plants (earthing up) about six weeks after planting. This supports stem growth, promotes soil warming, and ensures good drainage. Use Organifer fertilizers and start applying Organifer plant enhancers, such as Phytophthora concentrate, ten weeks after planting to ensure optimal plant health.
Harvesting: Begin harvesting 90 days after planting for early varieties and 120 days for late varieties, depending on weather conditions and the potato variety. Use a digging machine or fork to carefully lift the potatoes from the ground without damaging the tubers.

Storage

Store seed potatoes in a cool, dry, and dark place to prevent sprouting and spoilage. Ensure adequate ventilation to avoid moisture buildup and ethylene accumulation, which can cause mold and rot. Avoid storing potatoes near ethylene-emitting fruits, such as apples, as this can accelerate sprouting. Regularly inspect and remove any damaged potatoes to minimize the spread of diseases. Use breathable storage materials, such as paper or fabric bags, to ensure proper air circulation.
