Description

The Folva variety provides an ample supply of large, oval potatoes with yellow skin and yellow flesh. The shape and size are ideal for home-made chips, for example, but also as a tasty jacket or roast potato. Very high-yielding and resistant to nematodes. Folva: medium-early, predominantly waxy.

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.
