Potato: products indicated and the dose on each data sheet

The potato forms its harvest underground, and what you see in the haulm is only part of what happens in the crop. The cycle has three very distinct stages: emergence and growth of the haulm, in which the plant builds the leaf that will later fill the tubers; the start of tuberisation, when it decides how many it will form; and bulking, when it fills them, with potassium at the centre of size and weight. Regular irrigation during bulking decides as much as fertilisation.

On this page we bring together the products in our catalogue whose data sheet names the potato in its list of crops. Our data sheets write it as “potato” within the list of vegetable crops, and that is how it appears in the table. In the dose line they do it in two ways: some name the potato in that list, and most publish a dose for vegetable crops —alone, alongside arable crops, or for fruit trees, vegetable crops and arable crops at once—, almost always with two routes, foliar and fertigation, and often with two regimes, maintenance and severe deficiency. Some data sheets name the potato but do not publish a dose for vegetable crops: in that row we write nothing and refer to the data sheet.

The table has three columns: the product, linked to its data sheet; the family it belongs to; and the doses the data sheet states for vegetable crops. Each dose line begins with the use as the data sheet writes it —the route, the regime and the crops it refers to— and continues with the quantity. What is not in the table is in the data sheet: the timing of application, which every data sheet publishes in its dose block, the precautions and the mixing incompatibilities. We do not order the products by crop stage because our data sheets do not publish the dose by stage, and here we do not write what the data sheet does not say.

If the question on your plot is which of these data sheets fits the soil, the water and the state of the crop, the technical enquiry exists for that: we reply with the data sheet in hand.
