PotatoEurope, Europe’s potato professionals’ gathering place, will once again dazzle visitors with machinery demonstrations.

On the 7th and 8th of September 2022, four different potato planting machines, six mechanical weed control machines (hoes and harrows), thirteen potato harvesters, five loading lines, and six manufacturers with trailers and dumpers for transport will be seen in action at the Rittergut Bockerode estate in Springe-Mittelrode near Hanover, Germany.

The range of machines and technology on display at the grounds includes everything required for successful potato cultivation, from preparation for cultivation, planting, and care technology – whether mechanical or the most recent crop protection technology – to harvesting, processing, and storage.
