Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a semi-erect bush with medium green foliage and weakly pigmented stems. Tubers have an elongated shape, light-netted skin, and cream-white flesh. Eyes are predominantly shallow and localized at the apical end.

The variety possesses moderate resistance to common scab and Verticillium wilt, also demonstrates tolerance to water stress, and requires less nitrogen fertilizer. Due to a deep dormancy state, tubers store well, and a low glucose concentration allows for the maintenance of a light color during frying, even after cold storage.

The variety is characterized by a moderately high specific gravity. The primary purpose is industrial processing into frozen semi-finished products and french fries; it is also suitable for culinary use.
