The variety is a traditional local potato maintained in cultivation as part of cultural heritage rather than as an intensive commercial variety. The variety name indicates the purple color of the tubers.
The variety is traditionally used for food. As an old local variety, it requires strict adherence to crop rotation rules: it is not recommended to grow it in the same place for more than 2–3 years in a row to avoid the accumulation of diseases and pests.
The EVIKA Institute carried out the process of cleaning this variety of viruses, studying it, and subsequently registering it as a conservation variety. Detailed morphological characteristics and data on disease resistance in open sources are unavailable.
