Growing instructions for Triplo (table potatoes)

Importers of Dutch seed potatoes

Triplo is suitable for French fries and for fresh market. This early variety produces oval, big tubers. The skin colour is yellow and the flesh colour light yellow. The cooking type is AB and there is hardly any after cooking discoloration. The dry matter content is about 20,2%. Good resistance to blight and a good overall disease resistance make Triplo very suitable for organic production and better than any potato variety of HZPC. Hunza Seed is an importer of seed potatoes from the Netherlands and represents Stet Holland exclusively in Pakistan.

Maturity

Medium late.

Harvest

This Holland potato is hardly susceptible to internal bruising and mechanical damages. Providing tubers are lifted with care, harvest should not cause problems.

Storage

The dormancy is rather long, but when this dutch potato variety has broken the dormancy, germination is rapid. This may cause some problems during storage in traditional stores. However Triplo can be stored long term in cold stores.

Resistance to diseases

Triplo is resistant to potato cyst nematodes (Ro1+Ro4) and to wart disease, race 1. Rather susceptible to common scab. The resistance to leaf blight is good and for tuber blight very well. This Netherlands seed potato variety has a high resistance to Fusarium (dry rot).

Seed treatment

Triplo has a rather long dormancy. Pre-sprouting would stimulate early crop production, however Triplo can also be planted with small white sprouts. When Triplo has broken the dormancy, the sprout development is rapid. It is recommended to remove the apical sprouts.

Cultivation

This variety is suitable for all soil types. Triplo has the tendency to grow rather high in the ridge. To avoid tuber greening it is recommended to plant deeper than usual. Seed should be planted closer together than usual. Triplo will emerge quickly and the foliage will give good ground cover. Triplo is somewhat sensitive to Sencor.

Fertilization

Fertiliser requirements are less than for Spunta. Using less Nitrogen will increase the dry matter content and help reduce the risk of mechanical damage. Also this will allow earlier crop maturity.
