Potato desiccation is a crucial process in potato cultivation that significantly affects the quality of the tubers. This is where crop.zone’s technology comes in, offering a sustainable and effective alternative to chemical herbicides. The innovative method from crop.zone ensures optimised skin formation, improved baking quality, and longer storability of potatoes.

By applying crop.zone technology, the desiccation process is precisely controlled. This leads to uniform and robust skin formation. Well-formed skin not only protects the potato from mechanical damage during harvest but also from sprouting and diseases during storage.

Potatoes treated with crop.zone technology stand out due to their higher baking quality. The targeted desiccation optimises the ripeness of the potatoes, resulting in better texture and more intense flavour when baked. This quality improvement is particularly important for processing and sales.

Another advantage of crop.zone technology is the improved storability of the potatoes. Effective desiccation reduces the risk of rot and sprouting, allowing potatoes to be stored for a longer period without losing quality. This ensures that farmers can market their harvest more efficiently and minimise losses.

The application of crop.zone technology also facilitates haulm detachment during harvest. The precise desiccation causes the potato haulm to dry evenly, making it easier to separate from the tubers. This reduces the effort during harvest and minimises the risk of damage to the potatoes.

crop.zone technology offers farmers a sustainable and efficient solution for potato desiccation. The resulting improvements in skin formation, baking quality, and storability, as well as the easier haulm detachment during harvest, significantly contribute to enhancing the overall quality of the yield. Thus, farmers benefit not only from higher product quality but also from a more efficient and environmentally friendly production method.
