Consistent Yield with Ukrainian Heritage

The potato variety "Azhur" is the result of selective breeding by Ukrainian experts, designed to produce high-quality table potatoes in temperate climates. Developed by "Приватне акціонерне товариство науково-виробнича фірма", this variety has quickly carved out a niche as a reliable mid-early potato that adapts well to various soil types and is forgiving of minor agronomic errors.

Agronomic Profile

The crop maturation period is 75–85 days, allowing farmers to schedule harvests for both early market sales and long-term storage. One of the key strengths of Azhur is its complex resistance: it successfully withstands potato wart and common scab, which is critical for maintaining the marketable appearance of the tubers.

• Internal Qualities: The light-yellow flesh has optimal density. The starch content ranges between 14–17%, making this variety versatile for cooking; it does not overcook and holds its shape perfectly during heat treatment.
• Weight Metrics: The mass of a marketable tuber ranges from 50 to 130 grams, fitting the industry standard for retail distribution.
