The potato plots of the Boerenbusiness Crops were planted a few weeks ago. The first crops are now emerging on various plots.
The plot in Someren was planted on April 9. The grower has opted for size 35-50 and a planting distance of 31 cm. The potatoes are now on top and have a fairly even growth.
In Dronten the potatoes were planted on 14 April with seed potatoes in size 35/45. At the end of this week, the potatoes will be at the top, according to the grower's expectation. In recent weeks, herbicide has been sprayed on the plot, potash and greenhouse have been spread and the ridges have been milled to give the potato more room to grow.
The potatoes in the southeast, in Cuijk were planted on April 9. "I'm surprised how well the herbicide sprays have worked with the drought," the grower said.
