Consumer Quality

Produces high yields of small round tubers of average dry matter. Good eating quality and ideally suited for salad potato market. All consumer taste tests have been very positive.

Agronomic Features

In trial has produced high yields of small round tubers, up to 20% higher yields than field controls. Has excellent resistance to powdery and common scab and has consistently produced good skin finish. Good resistance to gangrene, dry rot and blackleg give good storability. Initial results indicate long dormancy. Potential for organic salad production. Resistance to Ro1 is unusual compared to current salad varieties.
