Description
Today, the potato plant is one of the main cultivated species worldwide thanks to its starch-rich edible tubers, varying in size and colour according to variety, which are widely used in the food industry. With its compact growth and bushy habit, it is easy to grow, preferring full sun exposures in well-draining soils with a warm temperate climate; with suitable irrigation and fertilisation to meet requirements throughout the entire growing cycle, it will guarantee excellent productive results.
