Nitrogen (N): 90% in comparison to other medium early varieties. Apply 2/3 before planting and 1/3 as top dressing. First top dressing of nitrogen directly after tuber initiation. A potassium (chloride) application just before flowering reduces the bruising sensitivity. Phosphate fertilization according to standard advice. To prevent bruising, use fresh Potassium. TAURUS is susceptible to magnesium deficiency, therefore fertilize with trace elements. - - - - - - - - Characteristics Maturity Yield mature Tuber size Tuber shape Number of tubers Flesh after cooking Skin colour Berries Dormancy period Emergence Metribuzin sensitivity Foliage development Internal bruising Little Potato disorder Dry matter content/Starch UWW / Specific gravity Spraing Foliage Blight Tuber Blight Common scab Powdery scab PVY Yntn tuber tolerance Medium early Moderate high Medium Round / Round oval 9-11 Light yellow Yellow Few berries Very long Slow Moderately sensitive Strong Very sensitive Little sensitive 23,8% / 17,8% 443 / 1,096 Slightly susceptible Moderate resistant Resistant Slightly susceptible Slightly susceptible Susceptible Tolerant Ro1 Ro2/3 Pa2 Pa3 Type Value PCN Resistance F1 F2 F6 F18 Fysio Value Wart disease 9 6 3 3 3 1 Italic: own analysis/no official analysis 65 98 79 80 64 70 75 27 78 65 70 85 58 66 63 99 30 Sep 2016 Plant depth: normal. - www.hzpc.com
