Potatoes are a significant crop that benefit from careful nutrient management to ensure strong establishment, improved resilience with a more uniform tuber size and better skin finish for premium markets at harvest. Bionature UK from Spaldings offers a tailored nutrition programme using smart liquid fertilisers designed to enhance root development, improve plant structure and reduce calcium-related disorders.
Potato Programme
The programme focuses on early establishment, building a robust foundation for the crop, ensuring plants are well-nourished and resilient to stress. Below is a standard outline programme for potatoes, which may need adapting depending on weather and soil conditions.
Benefits of the Bionature approach
Stronger plant growth and improved root development, which helps nutrient uptake and overall tuber bulking.
Reduced calcium-related disorders (such as internal browning or hollow tubers) by supplying adequate Ca through products like Calflux
More uniform tuber size and better skin finish, which especially matters for processing or premium markets
