Colette

The Versatile Choice for Intensive Farming

Colletta, developed by the German breeding house Europlant Pflanzenzucht, is a mid-early variety (65–75 days) designed for producers who demand versatility and consistency. By delivering a stable yield of uniform tubers (50–130g), it has become a staple for farms looking to maximize land productivity while maintaining high quality standards.

Agronomic Robustness

One of the primary reasons commercial growers choose Colletta is its strong genetic resistance profile. The variety shows excellent resistance to potato wart, golden potato nematode, and late blight. This natural resilience reduces the pressure from major soil-borne and foliar diseases, allowing for more predictable production cycles and reducing the need for intensive chemical applications.

Market Versatility: From Retail to Processing

With an elongated-oval shape, yellow skin, and light yellow flesh, Colletta meets the visual criteria of demanding markets. Its starch content, ranging between 12% and 15%, makes it a highly flexible variety for industrial processing:

• Table Market: Excellent culinary properties make it a favorite for supermarket sales and retail chains.
• Processing Industry: Colletta is specifically valued for its performance in the production of french fries and chips, maintaining structural integrity and an attractive color profile after industrial frying.

For operations looking to hedge their risks and simplify their supply chain, Colletta offers a reliable, multipurpose solution. Whether targeting fresh markets or industrial manufacturing, this variety ensures that you are delivering a premium product that is both stable in storage and efficient to process.
