Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant has a semi-erect habit and a high number of main stems per plant. The variety is considered versatile in cooking, and its flesh is characterized by a low content of polyphenol oxidase, which prevents darkening after cutting.

The variety possesses tolerance to drought and has historically been used in breeding programs to develop more resistant hybrids. It has been actively used in variety trials in countries in Asia and Africa.
