The planting distance for Connect size 28/35 is 26 to 28 centimeters. For size 35/50, a planting distance of 31 to 33 centimeters is advised. We also recommend this planting distance for 50/60 cut potatoes. Always count the tubers and keep in mind that heavier soils require a closer planting distance.
The strong Phytophthora resistance makes Connect suitable for organic cultivation. Connect has a very fast emergence, initial development and soil coverage.
Check the sizes of the tubers at the end of the season. Pay sufficient attention to the haulmkilling. Do not harvest until the skin is fully matured. After harvesting, ensure quick drying and good ventilation during storage and cooling down to 4-5°C gradually.
