Potato COROLLE

The potato variety Corolle is an early-maturing table variety with a vegetation period of 65-75 days, the first harvest can be obtained as early as day 45 after emergence of seedlings. The plant is of medium height, intermediate type, semi-erect, with leaves ranging from medium to large size, green or dark green in color, and weak to moderate leaf margin waviness. Tubers are elongated-oval, with small eyes, smooth to moderately rough yellow skin, and yellow flesh. Marketable tuber mass varies from 94 to 135 grams, starch content is 10.0-12.1%, making this variety suitable for salad, soup, and frying (culinary type AB). Flavor qualities are good, marketability reaches 85-99%, and storability is 88%. The Corolle variety has high and stable yield: marketable yield ranges from 138 to 356 centners per hectare, with maximum yield reaching 502 centners per hectare, significantly exceeding standard varieties. Number of tubers per plant is 7-12. The variety is recommended for cultivation in the Central and Central Chernozem regions of Russia using standard agronomic practices. Sowing is performed in open ground, typically in May, at a depth of 8-10 cm and spacing of 60 x 35 cm. Corolle potato is resistant to potato late blight and golden potato cyst nematode, ensuring reliable cultivation. However, the variety is susceptible to foliage and moderately susceptible to tubers to phytophthora, and is highly susceptible to common scab, therefore requires mandatory fungicide treatment to protect against diseases. These characteristics must be considered when planning disease protection and crop care.
