Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety has a short-oval tuber shape. During trials conducted in Great Britain, low resistance of the variety to black spot was identified.

In scientific research, the variety Orwell is used as a model object for studying the reaction of potatoes to moisture deficit. It was established that during drought, specific gene expression is observed in the plant, such as StRD22, which makes this genotype valuable for breeding programs aimed at developing drought-resistant varieties.
