Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety forms a large number of tubers, up to 20 pieces per bush. Tubers have an oval or long-oval shape, yellow skin, and light yellow flesh. The dry matter content is about 22.1%. The variety is characterized by good keeping quality during long-term storage.

The plant possesses resistance to common scab and potato wart pathotype F1. The variety is sensitive to growing conditions and requires high-quality irrigation and nutrition to realize its high yield potential. Due to the large number of tubers in the nest, deeper planting is recommended.
