Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to culinary type AB, with a dry matter content of about 19%. The tubers have smooth skin and shallow eyes, and are characterized by good keeping quality; however, the variety is not intended for the production of french fries or chips. Foliage development occurs quite rapidly at the beginning of the growing season.

The plant possesses high resistance to late blight of foliage and tubers, potato cyst nematode (Ro 1/4), and wart disease (F1). At the same time, the variety is susceptible to PVY and sensitive to common scab and powdery scab.

During cultivation, it is necessary to consider the variety's high sensitivity to the herbicide metribuzin, the application of which is not recommended after emergence. The variety is also sensitive to mechanical damage and the formation of dark spots, which requires a two-week interval between haulm killing and harvesting.
