Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is mid-early or mid-season (early-maincrop) with a growing period of approximately 115–120 days. It originates from parent lines Atlantic and 12601AB1. The tubers are characterized by a round shape, white skin, and cream-colored flesh.

The plant possesses good resistance to powdery scab, mechanical damage, internal defects, and flesh discoloration. The variety demonstrates high tolerance to high temperatures, which allows it to adapt to stressful growing conditions.

Due to a stable sugar profile, the variety is suitable both for consumption immediately after harvest and for long-term storage. Pre-sprouting of tubers before planting is recommended; early planting in warmed soil is possible.
