Pondus

Pondus potato variety belongs to early-maturing types with oval-shaped medium-sized tubers and smooth yellow skin. The flesh is light yellow with a starch content of 18-20%, making it versatile for various culinary purposes, including soups, salads, and French fries. High yield is demonstrated by an average of 17-18 tubers per plant.

This variety is distinguished by high market quality and attractive appearance due to its uniform skin and aesthetically pleasing tuber shape. Pondus exhibits good resistance to internal defects, nematodes (RO1, RO4), and scab (W1), as well as moderate resistance to leaf scorch and late blight, contributing to stable yield and product quality.

Pondus is successfully marketed in fresh markets, particularly in regions with warmer climates, including Scandinavian countries. Its high disease resistance and attractive appearance make this variety popular for both packaging and selling in peeled form, ensuring consumers receive a high-quality, flavorful product.
