Potatoes 'Sarpo Mira'

A promising Hungarian potato with white flesh and pink-red skin. Its resistance to potato blight (Phytophthora infestans) is remarkable! Sometimes an infection appears to develop, but the plant grows through it healthily without passing the disease into the tuber. Sufficient moisture and nutrients result in a large harvest, but less of both actually improves the taste! The tubers are quite firm, slightly floury, making the potato versatile for various uses: boiling, baking, mashing, and salads. Its strong, upright growth contributes to disease resistance.

MAIN CROP VARIETY.
A main crop variety means it can be harvested from September onwards. Harvesting a few weeks earlier is possible by planting earlier. The planting time is from mid-April, when the soil has sufficient warmth. Pre-sprouting in light or in a large pot can be done earlier. Do not plant them in a spot that is too wet, but make sure they get plenty of sun. Main crop varieties can be susceptible to the dreaded potato blight (Phytophthora infestans). Some preventive measures include: spacious planting, fertilizing with patentkali, avoiding spraying water over the plant, and possibly organic spraying with sulfur or silinal. The average planting distance is 70x40 cm; we recommend maintaining 80x40 cm to prevent diseases.
