- Adapt fertilization to soil analysis.
- Nitrogen (N): 250 kg N/ha inclusive of soil supply.
- 100% of the nitrogen should be given at planting in
one dose. This will help advance the crop.
- Split application is advisable to keep foliage vigorous,
resulting in bigger tubers.

General production advice ware potatoes
Pre-treatment and planting
- Allow the seed to acclimatize to the local conditions before planting.
- RED SCARLETT reacts well to the cutting of big sized seed. Optimum result from 3-4 weeks
prior to planting.
- Tuber and/or soil treatments are advised to control Rhizoctonia, silver scab and other soil
borne skin diseases. Azoxystrobine as a soil application shows good results on many fungi.
- RED SCARLETT can be grown on all soil types.
- Can be planted with small white buds but good pre-sprouting can advance the crop.
Growing attention points
- Emergence is uniform with a good foliage development.
- RED SCARLETT is quite sensitive to metribuzin (Sencor), only use it pre-emergence.
- Use a robust Phytophthora programme, to prevent foliage and tuber blight
- RED SCARLETT is susceptible to Alternaria. Start treatments at flowering time.
- Use products that have an effect on Alternaria solani and Alternaria alternata.
- Preventive spraying against Phytophthora is advised.
Haulm killing and harvest
- The skin should be fully set before harvest.
- RED SCARLETT is quite resistant against bruising, unless extreme conditions occur.
- Pay special attention to avoid mechanical damage to prevent later Fusarium infection.
Storage
- Good curing is essential as RED SCARLETT is quite sensitive to Fusarium.
- RED SCARLETT is slightly susceptible to Phoma, pay attention to skin curing. A fast drop of
temperature will increase the risk of Phoma.
- For storage period longer than 3 months, refrigeration is required.
- Ventilate regularly, but briefly, to prevent CO2 accumulation.
- Any fluctuation in temperature, combined with condensation, can result in early sprouting and
a high risk of silver scab.
