Demo starch potatoes

You are growing starch potatoes

  • You grow potatoes in a 1:2 rotation.
  • You had a field sampled with the AMZetmeel (AMStarch) sampling method, result 5600 larvae and eggs per 200 cc soil.
  • The species analysis you had carried out showed the presence of Pa as well as Ro.
  • Available cultivars:
