BAVATOP
BAVATOP is an interesting starch variety for the production of high starch yield even on soils with problems of nematodes.
VARIETY DESCRIPTION
YIELD
- very high starch content (up to 24%)
- very high starch yield
- medium-high number of tubers regular calibration
RESISTANCES
- potato wart disease: K 1 resistant K 2, 6, 18 lowsusceptible
- Nematodes: Ro 1(9), 2/3(8), Pa 3(6)
- Y-Virus: (PVY) high
- potato leaf roll virus (PLRV): medium
- Late blight (phytophthora inf.): high
- black leg (erwinia spp.): high
- common scab (strept.scabies): medium
TUBER
- short-oval shape;
- depth of eyes shallow to medium light yellow flesh
PLANT
intensive blue coloured flowers, erect, tall plant
AGRONOMIC ADVICE
- BAVATOP should be planted in rows allowing 32-34cm in a well prepared seedbed with regular water supply.
- Seed tubers should be warmed up before planting
- BAVATOP shows no sensitive reaction to late Metribuzin application
- Due to a good tolerance to late blight, spraying intervals can be less than average
- N-supply up to 150kg N/ha and potassium up to 300kg/ha is recommended.
