Valor Seed Potatoes
Valor is one of the latest maincrop potatoes to mature but well worth the wait. Valor gives an excellent yield of large creamy tubers that store well.
Tubers have a dry firm texture and are good for baking and boiling. A vigorous grower with excellent all round disease resistance. A Maincrop variety. Flesh Colour - Cream. Uses - boil, steam, mash, chips, saute, baked and roast.
Immediately upon arrival unpack your seed potatoes and keep them in trays in a light, airy, frost free place to sprout prior to planting. Planting - depth 10cm (4"); spacing in row - 30-40cm (12-16"); width between rows - 70-75cm (28-30").
Soil should be well-worked and rich in humus (farm-yard manure or garden compost). Earth up two to three times as the top grows, to avoid green tubers. Feed with a balanced fertiliser and always keep your potatoes watered well during dry periods to ensure a good crop.
NB: Quantities are approximate and based on 10 tubers per kilogram.
