Growing Advice:
 

• As is a prolific producer of tubers, wide inter row spacing is recommended.
• Responds to higher levels of fertilisation.
• A comprehensive early season fungicide programme is important to protect against late blight.
• Herbicide Sensitivity: Metribuzin can be used strictly pre-emergence only.
