The planting distance for Prada size 28/35 is 23 to 25 centimeters. For size 35/50 this is 28 to 30 centimeters. We also recommend this planting distance for 50/60 cut seed potatoes. Always count the tubers and keep a closer planting distance in heavier soils.

Avoid soils with scab problems and free-living nematodes. When in doubt, use granulate for nematode control. Do not use K-chloride as a source of potassium in the spring and planting in the white sprouts stage gives the best results. Prada is sensitive to Metribuzin. Only use this immediately after building ridges and not shortly before emergence.

Application of magnesium and manganese fertilizers early in the season has a positive effect on Prada. At 80% emergence, we recommend spraying against Phytophthora. The second N fertilizer application is adviced around tuberization. Start in time with preventive spraying against alternaria. Prada does not cause any problems with haulm killing.

Avoid damage during harvesting and be careful with mother tubers. Wait until the skin has matured before harvesting. Prada is susceptible to Fusarium and silver scurf. After harvest, provide good ventilation during storage until the potatoes are dry. Warm up gradually before transport.
