Potato Bravo

Potato variety Bravo is a medium-early table variety, adapted to various climatic conditions and regionally approved for the Volga-Vyatka, West Siberian, and Ural regions. The plant is of medium height, intermediate type with semi-erect bushes and large dark green leaves. Blossoms have weak anthocyanin coloring. Tubers are round in shape, with smooth surface and medium-depth eyes, colored red or pinkish, with light yellow flesh. Marketable tuber mass ranges from 81 to 180 grams, and starch content is 13.1–15.2%, providing good taste and low susceptibility to breakdown, making the potato suitable for frying, soups, and baking. The variety is characterized by high and stable yield: marketable yield ranges from 210 to 377 centners per hectare, with maximum up to 460 centners. Each plant yields 16 to 22 tubers, of which 72–98% are marketable. Tubers have high storability — 93% — ensuring long-term storage without quality loss. Potato Bravo is low-maintenance, responds well to fertilizers, and is suitable for standard agronomic practices. One of the key advantages of this variety is its high resistance to diseases and pests. Potato Bravo is resistant to potato late blight and golden nematode, and shows moderate resistance to phytophthora, crinkly, and striped mosaic. Additionally, the variety is lightly affected by common scab and viral diseases. Thanks to these qualities and adaptability to diverse conditions, variety Bravo is a reliable choice for cultivation in regions with varied climates.
