Potatoes 'Lekkerlander'

(1965) Parents: Doré x Dr. McIntosh. Rather loose in cooking (crumbly or floury), praised for its good taste. Suitable for clay and sandy soil. Size 28/40 contains ± 90 tubers per 2.5 kg, they produce 7 stems per 2 tubers and can be planted on 20 m².

EARLY VARIETY.
An early variety mainly means that it grows quickly and can therefore be harvested early. The planting time is approximately the same as for later varieties (April). However, to get an extra early harvest, these varieties are often planted earlier (mid-March with foil protection or even from January under glass). Early varieties are less susceptible to the dreaded potato blight (Phytophthora infestans). Although the epidemic is occurring earlier and earlier: plant widely and fertilise with potash. The average planting distance is 70x40 cm, we recommend 80x40 cm to prevent diseases.
