ADORA

Breeder:

Average content of dry matter: ~18,3%.

Resistance:

to nematodes: Ro1,
to scab: susceptible,
to late blight: very susceptible,
to blackleg: susceptible,
to rhizoctonia: susceptible.

Very early, productive potato variety for retail fresh purposes. Tubers form of a uniform size, are large, roundly oval with bright yellowish flesh and shallow eyes. This variety is resistant to mechanical bruising, dry rot, but more susceptible to late blight and scab. Adora produces several stems with sparse amount of tubers in one bush, thus it is recommended to plant them more densely and not too deep, as tubers form relatively deep under the ground. This variety is more sensitive to Sencor. Medium wintering period.

Breeder:

Average content of dry matter: ~16.7%.

Resistance:

to nematodes: Ro 1, 4, 5,
to wart disease: high,
to PVYn virus: good,
to leaf blight – low,
to tuber blight – medium, good,
to common scab: good,
to viruses – medium,
to drought – medium.

COLOMBA

COLOMBA is an early ware potato variety and suitable for early harvest. The tubers are attractive for the end consumer since they have attractive bright skin and appealing marketable looks. The plant has high resistance to common scab, therefore the tubers maintain a smooth skin. The main advantage of COLOMBA variety is that it performs well in various climates and is easy to grow. The variety is suitable to grow for all soil types, however, avoid planting in cold soil, since it is slightly susceptible to little potato disorder. Irrigation is advised under dry circumstances but needs to be limited during the second part of the season to stimulate accumulation of dry matter. COLOMBA is early maturing and can be harvested after 75-90 days. Make sure to dry and cool in order for the skin to completely finish, if the potatoes were harvested green or shortly after haulm killing. Sales are usually after two months after harvesting and if stored longer than 3 months’ refrigeration is highly recommended.

VINETA

Breeder:

Average content of dry matter: ~24%.

Resistance:

to nematodes: Ro1, 4,
to mechanical damages: very high,
to tuber rotting: high,
to blackleg: high,
to rhizoctonia: high.

Early maturity variety, grown for fresh market purposes. The tubers are round, large, with a rough skin and averagely sized eyes. Perfect commercial looks, resistant to mechanical damages. Skin and flesh are yellowish. Perfectly stores throughout winter. Plants are resistant to nematode Ro1,4, viruses A and Y, virus of leaf roll, blackleg and more than averagely resistant to phytoftorosis. This variety is less demanding for soil and humidity, very resistant to drought, little susceptible to diseases and pests. Plants do not tolerate nitrogen surplus which slows ripening of tubers and weakens storing characteristics. Suitable for germination and have a great taste, fine storing characteristics and long rest period. This variety is suitable for ecological farming. Potatoes produce regular averagely rich yield under different variable weather conditions.

CAMPINA

Breeder:

Average content of dry matter: ~19%.

Resistance:

to scab: high,
to mechanical damage: medium, high,
to black leg – high,
to leaf blight – high,
to tuber blight - high.

A second early maturity with good yield of bold parti- coloured red eyed tubers with cream flesh of excellent flavour and texture. Moderate dry matter levels produces some flaking on boiling.
