| Storability: |
Stores well, may develop Fusarium dry rot if handled roughly. |
| Production Mgmt: |
Plants emerge quickly, but usually only have 1 to 3 stems per plant, thus high plant density and relatively low nitrogen levels tend to optimize yield of marketable sized tubers. Tuber set is light to medium in the hill. Greening may be a problem without proper hill conformation. Water usage declines as vines mature, thus monitor late season irrigation carefully. Tuber bulking occurs earlya nd very rapidly and close monitoring is warranted after 90 days from planting. |
