Montana
Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Montana potato variety, which is a firm cooking ware potato suitable for storage and packing. It is characterized by high tuber yields and marketable yields, with a yellow to deep yellow flesh color.
Growing Recommendations: Montana potatoes prefer average to better soil conditions with a uniform supply of water and nutrients. The recommended row width is 75 cm to 90 cm, with a planting depth of up to 17 cm. Seed preparation involves sprout stimulation 7-10 days before planting, and care should be taken with seed dressing due to potential sensitivity to active ingredients.
Fertilization: The fertilization strategy includes medium nitrogen levels compared to local standards, with phosphorus and potassium applied at specific rates to ensure yield and quality. Magnesium is also recommended for yield assurance.
Variety Characteristics: Montana potatoes have an oval shape with shallow eyes and a smooth yellow skin. They are medium early in maturity and maintain a stable yellow flesh color after cooking. The variety is resistant to several strains of potato cyst nematode and potato wart disease.
Sensitivities and Resistances: The variety shows very low to low sensitivity to common scab, spraing, bruising, and mechanical damage. It has rapid youth development and is very dormant, making it suitable for long-term storage.
Additional Information: Special advice is available for lower carb production. The document notes that all particulars are based on official variety trials and the company's own experience, with no liability undertaken for the details provided.
