The harvesting of the seed potatoes has started. Fortunately, on the lighter soils, the soil was still moist enough so that there were virtually no white clods. We were able to harvest four varieties (with different plots). The mother tubers of these varieties had all perished. Unfortunately, this is not yet the case with the other varieties, so we cannot continue.
In addition to the images of the potatoes harvesting and storing, you can see how Vegniek's haulm puller works. The purpose of the haulm tractor is to use less crop protection products. Both for haulm killing and for combating the fungus Rhizoctonia. Further advantages are: the potatoes harden immediately after removing the foliage and the mother tubers digest faster.
