Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety was obtained by crossing C1992/42 and Picasso. The plant forms a vigorous bush of intermediate type with semi-erect stems without anthocyanin coloration. The short-oval or oval-shaped tubers have smooth cream-yellow skin, shallow eyes, and light yellow flesh. Approximately 12–15 large tubers are formed in one hill.

The variety possesses complex resistance: high to common scab, silver scurf, and gangrene; moderate to late blight. It is characterized by good drought tolerance and tolerance to high temperatures, and is suitable for cultivation on various soil types, including sandy soils. The dry matter content in the tubers is 18–19.5%.

In agricultural practice, it is important to avoid excess nitrogen fertilizers and ensure high-quality hilling to prevent the greening of tubers located close to the soil surface. The variety is characterized by a long dormancy period, which ensures good keeping quality during storage.
