Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the mid-early maturity group. Tubers have a round-oval or long-oval shape, smooth white skin, and cream flesh with shallow eyes. The table purpose of the variety allows it to be used for various methods of culinary processing.

The plant is resistant to potato cyst nematode, blackleg, gangrene, and leaf roll. The variety is moderately resistant to PVY, common and powdery scab, as well as tuber late blight, while being moderately susceptible to foliage late blight.

The variety tolerates drought well and is characterized by good keeping quality. It is recommended for cultivation in light soils, as tuber cracking is possible in heavy soils with poor drainage. Plant sensitivity to metribuzin-based herbicides is noted.
