Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to early maturity groups. The tubers have an oval shape, smooth skin, and yellow flesh. During culinary processing, the potatoes do not darken and are classified as a slightly waxy variety.

The plant is characterized by high yield and uniform tuber size. The variety is resistant to nematodes of the species Globodera rostochiensis Ro 1–3, Ro 5, but shows susceptibility to late blight and a tendency to scab on certain soils. The haulm develops moderately, and keeping quality during storage is good.
