ANISSA

Agronomic Profile and Cultivation of Anissa Potato

Anissa is an early-maturing potato variety developed by Germicopa Breeding SAS, officially registered in Ukraine in 2026. Known for its culinary type AB, this variety is highly valued for its firm texture and light-yellow flesh, making it an excellent choice for the fresh market and culinary processing.

Cultivation Practices and Management

To maximize the yield potential of Anissa, specific agronomic attention is required during the early stages of development.

• Soil and Planting: The variety thrives in well-aerated, fertile soils. Planting should commence once soil temperatures reach +8°C to +10°C. A row spacing of 75–90 cm is recommended to ensure optimal plant development and ease of mechanical harvesting.
• Irrigation Strategy: As an early-maturing variety, Anissa requires consistent moisture, particularly during the tuber initiation and bulking phases. Maintaining soil moisture levels prevents secondary growth and ensures the uniform, elongated-oval shape of the tubers.
• Disease Management: One of the standout features of Anissa is its high resistance to late blight (foliage and tubers) and potato cyst nematodes (Ro 1, 4). This genetic resilience allows for a more sustainable approach to crop protection, reducing the need for intensive fungicide applications.

Anissa’s early maturity allows growers to harvest before the peak pressure of late-season diseases and environmental stressors. With its attractive yellow skin and consistent culinary performance, it represents a reliable and high-quality option for modern agricultural production.
