Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is of intermediate type, semi-upright, of medium height, with large green leaves and white flowers of medium size. The tubers are round-oval in shape with shallow surface eyes. The average weight of a marketable tuber is 71–122 g; 20 to 40 tubers are formed per plant.

The variety belongs to the mid-early group; the ripening period is 75–100 days. The starch content in the tubers ranges from 10.2 to 13.2%. Culinary type B characterizes the potato as slightly mealy, not darkening during heat treatment, which makes it suitable for culinary purposes and dietary nutrition.

The variety is resistant to potato wart, golden potato cyst nematode, and virus Y. It is moderately resistant to potato leafroll virus, common scab, and rhizoctonia, but moderately susceptible to late blight. Marketability rates reach 71–94%, and keeping quality is about 89%.
