📅 Ideal Planting Period for the Spunta Variety
The planting period for Esteban potatoes depends on the variety's crop cycle (early, mid-early, or late) and the climatic conditions of the area. Generally, planting occurs when the soil temperature is between 7°C and 25°C, avoiding excessively hot or dry periods.
In Northern and Central Italy, planting is recommended from March to May, while in the warmer southern regions, it can be anticipated to February and also carried out in autumn, between September and October.
🌾 Planting Method and Field Application
Esteban potatoes are planted by burying the tuber. Whole or sectioned tubers can be used, provided each section has at least two eyes and a minimum weight of about 20 grams. Furrows should be at least 10 cm deep, with a distance between rows of 40 to 80 cm and about 30 cm between tubers. During planting, it is crucial not to damage the sprouts, which will determine the growth of new plants.

Using mobile bags or containers makes harvesting simple and practical, allowing for easy recovery of all tubers at the end of the cycle.
