Description

Marabel is a very high-yielding variety with a beautiful tuber shape and a fine, aromatic taste. It is often used as a jacket and boiled potato. Marabel is resistant to nematodes and can be stored for a long time. Marabel prefers better soil; a good water supply must be ensured on lighter soils. Occasional gentle liquid fertilization has a particularly positive effect.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

The potato is a heavy feeder and prefers deep, nutrient-rich soil without waterlogging in a temperate, sunny climate. Seed potatoes should be sprouted approx. 4 weeks before the planting date, e.g. in an egg box in a bright place without direct sunlight. You should keep the seed potatoes warm until they sprout, after which they can continue to sprout in a cooler place. This sequence encourages the formation of many large potatoes. As soon as tubers begin to form, the potato plants need plenty of water. However, waterlogging should be avoided at all costs. Mounding up soil around the plants several times during tuber formation ensures that more tubers can form.
