PRE-TREATMENT AND PLANTING
• A heat treatment is preferred to break the dormancy.
• Sprouts should be well hardened to avoid them breaking off.
• MONDIAL can be grown on all soil types.
• On light soils with free living nematodes there is a higher risk
of spraying. Apply a nematicide on these soils.
• Can be planted with small white buds but good pre-sprouting
can advance the crop.
• Early planting is advised.
• Prevent breaking of sprouts during planting.

GROWING ATTENTION POINTS
• Emergence is uniform with a good foliage development.
• Take care of a good soil moisture to prevent common scab.
• MONDIAL has a good drought tolerance.
• Preventive spraying against Phytophthora is advised.

HAULM KILLING AND HARVEST
• Use chemicals with a strong effect on stems to encourage
easy tuber detachment.
• The skin should be fully set before harvest.
• MONDIAL is moderately susceptible to bruising. Reduce
drop heights and avoid mechanical damage.
• Tubers are big. Harvest and store with care to avoid damage
and bruising.
