Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is early-maturing, with a growing season of 90–100 days. The plant forms vigorous bushes with vines 1.8 to 2.4 m long. Tubers are characterized by a stable shape, copper skin color, and bright orange flesh, which retains its color after heat treatment. The flesh texture is moist and the taste is sweet, due to high fructose content.

The variety possesses excellent keeping quality in storage, though it may demonstrate delayed sprouting during seedling preparation. The plant shows high resistance to Fusarium wilt, soil rot, and Southern root-knot nematode. The variety is considered hardy and shows consistently high yields under various climatic conditions.
