In potato cultivation, a number of planting processes play a crucial role that determine the final yield and grading. These important processes are: the emergence of the eyes, rooting, tuber formation, tuber retention, starch production and tuber filling. A grower can positively influence these processes by applying the right fertilisers and biostimulants at the right time.
The products below are options for use in potato cultivation. Discuss with your advisor what is the best application for you.
