Ikar

Ikar potato variety belongs to the medium-early maturing types with a maturity period of about 55-56 days. Tubers have an elongated-oval shape, evenly arranged, with surface eyes. The skin is smooth and yellow, and the flesh is also yellow. The starch content in this variety is approximately 16%, making it particularly suitable for processing into French fries.

The Ikar variety exhibits high resistance to several diseases, including leaf curl virus, and is characterized by low susceptibility to black spots on tubers. These qualities ensure not only a good yield but also long-term storage of potatoes without quality loss. The plant's flowers are white, which is an additional distinctive feature of the variety.

To grow the Ikar variety, it is recommended to use high-quality seed tubers that ensure high productivity and disease resistance. Proper care, including soil preparation, fertilization, and pest control, contributes to a stable and high yield. Due to its characteristics, this variety is in demand both for fresh consumption and for industrial processing.
