Very early maturing potato variety which can offer high to
very
high yields during a very short growth period.
Crossbreeding:
Gloria x 74 A 3
Maturing time:
Extraordinary early with a very early tuber setting.
The number of tubers per plant is normal.
Yield:
Because of fast development, within a very short growth period
high
yields with a regular selection. The tubers are medium-large.
Use:
Popular solid-boiling, very early consumption potato, with
a good taste
(boiling type B). Pure colour, does not lose colour when boiling.
In the preseason suitable for processing into chips. Suitable
for cultivation on all types of soil.
Tuber:
- the tubers are long-oval, regular shape, shallow
- the skin colour is yellow
- the flesh colour is yellow
- the dry-substance content is moderate in moderate climates
and in sunny climates fairly high
- the frying quality is fair to good
- the preserving capacity is good
- the pregerminative capacity is moderately long
- when pregerminated, sprouts are resistant to disconnection
- with early lifting the tubers easily separate from the
stems
Leaves:
Fast, medium-high, well-covering leaves development with normal
number of stems.
Resistance:
Resistant against potato cyst nematode Ro1, AM.A and wart
disease.
Good resistance against all viral diseases. Is fairly resistant
to:
scab, mechanical damage, brown-colouring, potato cyst nematode
caused by the Erwinia phytophthora, abnormal formation of
shoots and tubers, deformed tubers, damage caused by machine-lifting
and blue spots as a result of rough treatment. The phytophthora
resistance in the leaves is moderate, in the tuber good. Is
fairly resistant to heat and drought.
Cultivation:
Fertilisation in line with other early varieties. Apply nitrogen
in a fast absorbable composition. The use of pregerminated
seed-potatoes means that the crop can be harvested 10 days
earlier. It is advisable to plant the seed-potatoes approx.
10% further apart than with corresponding early varieties.
The use of SENCOR as a weed killer may cause serious damage
to the crop.
