Seed potatoes

Early and very early varieties of potatoes belong to table potatoes, which are characterized by a thin skin and are thus intended for earlier consumption. However, thanks to this, they contain more protein and water, less starches than late potatoes, which is why they are very popular with consumers. AGRICO Bohemia s.r.o. offers several varieties of early potatoes characterized by high quality and a large yield of marketable tubers.

Semi-late and late consumption potatoes are characterized by a higher dry matter content, good consumption quality and long storage time. Thanks to their properties, they are preferred for frying and for the production of chips and flakes. They are characterized by high resistance to potato diseases.

Late varieties are often characterized by a high content of dry matter and thus a good yield of starch. In addition to industrial processing, these flourier varieties are also popular for the production of potato chips.

Last but not least, the company AGRICO Bohemia s.r.o. also distributes varieties suitable for organic cultivation. It offers them in all brewing types (A, B, C) and at the same time in all types of earliness (early, semi-early, late).

Seed potatoes: The key to a successful potato crop

Seed potatoes are the basis of successful potato cultivation. They are specially selected tubers intended for planting.

They ensure high quality and yield of the potato crop. In this section we will tell you more about the key aspects of selecting, preparing and caring for seed potatoes.

Biological properties of potatoes

Sprouting

The tuber begins to develop shoots. This is the beginning of a new plant.

Vegetative growth

The plant grows above the ground. Develops leaves and stems for photosynthesis.

Tubers formation

New tubers are beginning to form underground. They grow and mature.

Selection of suitable varieties

Selection criteria

Disease resistance, yield and tuber quality are key factors in variety selection.

Regionální přizpůsobení

Choose varieties according to local climate and soil conditions for the best result.

Preparation of seed potatoes

1

Selection of healthy tubers

Choose tubers without signs of disease, cracks or damage. Quality planting is the basis of success.
