Growing rules
In order to grow this type of plant, you should choose sandy soils. This will increase the quality of the yield. First of all, it is required to select seed material. It should be small in size and have a large number of eyes. Treat the material with special substances that will enhance growth and help fight pests. After that, the containers with seeds are placed in a cool place, where a lot of sunlight falls. This will speed up the sprouting process.
Planting is carried out at a time when the soil has already warmed up after frost, and its temperature is about 10 ° C. Due to the fact that this potato variety is quite dependent on the temperature regime, it should be quickly removed. As soon as it is noticed that the tops have already dried up, you can safely start harvesting.
When planting seeds, a certain distance between rows and bushes should be adhered to. The distance between the holes should be at least 60 cm. But the row spacing is 40-45 cm. It is forbidden to cut the potatoes that were being prepared for planting. This will reduce the yield by at least 40%.
After 3 weeks, you need to huddle the beds. Hilling is repeated only if the embankment has collapsed and no longer covers most of the plant. Do not forget that it is important to loosen the soil every 2 weeks and remove weeds. Watering should be moderate, so drip irrigation is recommended.

In order to reduce the risk of viruses or fungi, it is necessary to pre-treat the seed with special substances that contain a large number of insecticidal characteristics. Do not forget that insecticides will help to cope with the invasion of the Colorado potato beetle. All herbs should only be applied a few days before abundant watering. This will allow all substances to work faster and destroy all pests.

It is thanks to its high characteristics of appearance and quality that it will gain recognition in more countries of the world.
