These figures include both conventional and organic cultivation methods, as the variety can be grown in both ways. This graph indicates that Acoustic is climate and soil adaptive, showing a good and stable yield in various parts of Europe.

At Least 25% Less Nitrogen Needed

Acoustic meets the Green Deal requirements for late blight resistance as well as for fertilizer input. This variety needs at least 25% less nitrogen than a standard variety. It is recommended to give all nitrogen at planting to achieve good maturity of the crop. Acoustic does not develop a large canopy, but does have an early tuber set. An additional N-gift for extra foliage is not necessary and would cause the crop to run late and might lead to less skin quality.
