Agrico Ukraine registers the early red potato "Korazon"

The company Agrico Ukraine introduces "Korazon," an early red potato variety tailored to meet consumer demands and producer expectations. This variety combines early maturity with red skin, boasting high yield potential and resistance to various diseases.

Key features of "Korazon" include its adaptability to different soil types, with a preference for light soils, and its ability to produce uniform, shiny red tubers suitable for retail packaging. It has shown resilience against common potato diseases.

In Europe, "Korazon" has gained popularity among potato growers and retailers. Agriko Ukraine's agronomic team has meticulously studied the variety's characteristics and optimized its cultivation techniques for diverse climatic conditions in Ukraine.

Insights into cultivating "Korazon" include pinching off sprouts only once, adjusting planting density to enhance yield quality, and applying slightly increased nitrogen rates for better tuber quality. The variety exhibits low sensitivity to certain herbicides but requires intensive fungicide protection against late blight.

"Korazon" demonstrates high drought resistance and is suitable for medium to long-term storage. Despite its susceptibility to some diseases, its overall robustness makes it a promising choice for potato growers in Ukraine.
