agronomic advice: Seed tubers of JUWEL should be presprouted. As a precaution a seed treatment against rhizoctonia is recommended. JUWEL should be planted in rows allowing 28-30 cm between tubers and 75 cm between rows in a well prepared seedbed. JUWEL needs normal fertilization. Due to a good tolerance to late blight, spraying intervals can be less than average, if the first treatment occurred before rows overgrown.

By planting JUWEL you can get early very high marketable yields with big tubers and a regular calibration.
