Specifications

Juwelle variety belongs to dining rooms with early ripening. Productivity is very high, under favorable conditions. more than 700 centners of potatoes can be collected from 1 hectare. Even under adverse weather conditions, you can count on 300-400 centners per hectare.

The first tubers break in at the beginning of summer (50 days after planting), but the variety reaches its highest yield at the end of the growing season (70 days).

Potato bushes are not too high, upright, moderately leafy. The leaves are medium in size, dark green, simple, with slightly wavy edges. Large light purple flowers are collected in compact beaters. Sprouts purple, slightly pubescent.

The root system is well developed, each bush gives at least 10 tubers, and the maximum number reaches 20. Potatoes are smooth and large, the number of non-commodity items is minimal.

The variety is undemanding to agricultural technology, calmly endures short-term drought, heat or lowering of temperature. Productivity depends on the level of moisture and nutritional value of the soil. To get the maximum yield, will have to follow the watering and at least 2 times to feed. Weeds can be destroyed with the help of herbicides, a season requires at least 2 hilling.

Juvel is immune to many dangerous diseases: potato cancer, common scab, cyst nematode. Their early maturation reduced risk of late blight of the leaves and tubers. Possible risk of rot and fungal diseases.

  • excellent taste;
  • high yield;
  • very early maturation;
  • tubers are flat, oval, ideal for sale;
  • universal potato, suitable for roasting or boiling;
  • tubers are well kept;
  • drought tolerance;
  • the variety tolerates heat and short-term freezing;

Features of growing

To appreciate all the benefits of ultra early potatoes, Juvel planted in the spring, without waiting for the full heating of the soil. Tubers calmly tolerate changes in the weather without suffering from a possible decrease in temperature.

Perfect option - the end of April or the beginning of May, at this time the soil is saturated with moisture and the potatoes quickly start to grow. In regions with a cooler climate, the dates can be shifted by a week.

Before planting, it is recommended to germinate the tubers. During the cultivation is to adhere to the schedule of irrigation. Constant drought will reduce the yield, the potatoes will be small. Constant watering will increase the roots, but significantly worsen their consumer qualities, tubers will get a watery taste.

A good way out is drip irrigation, which helps maintain an optimal level of moisture in the soil without stagnating it.

It is very important timely hilling with the formation of high ridges above the bushes. For season, the bushes are recommended feed at least 2 timesusing potassium-based mineral complexes or organic fertilizers (diluted mullein, bird droppings). The variety is very responsive to top dressing and not prone to accumulation of nitrates.

Before harvesting it is recommended to cut off all the tops. Particularly strong bushes with a large number of potatoes will become the base for seed material.Seed potatoes "Juvel" thoroughly dried, sorted and stored separately.

The variety has a thin peel, which may suffer when digging. In industrial conditions use harvesters with side grip.

Diseases and pests

For the prevention of fungal diseases, treatment of the soil before planting and careful selection of all tubers during harvesting is recommended. Decomposing, they become a breeding ground for harmful microorganisms.

Regular spraying with phytosporin is also saving from the fungus. It is not necessary to forget about the fungicides when growing.
