Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the mid-season group. Plants reach a height of about 60 cm and have an upright top type. Tubers have an oval or oval-elongated shape, smooth light yellow skin, and light yellow or creamy white flesh. The eyes are superficial, which simplifies the peeling process.

The produce is distinguished by a high dry matter content and belongs to culinary type C, which accounts for its mealiness when boiled. The variety is resistant to darkening after heat treatment and ensures a high yield of marketable tubers.

The plant possesses resistance to the potato cyst nematode Globodera rostochiensis and tolerance to Globodera pallida. It shows moderate resistance to common scab and late blight, however, susceptibility to PVY (Potato virus Y) has been noted.
