Potato ELEIA

French Breeding Excellence for Professional Growers

"Elaya" by Germicopa Breeding is designed for growers who demand flexibility and high marketability. This variety bridges the gap between premium table potatoes and industrial processing, making it a strategic asset for operations supplying both retail chains and the HoReCa sector.

Agronomic Resilience

Disease management is the most significant cost factor in potato production. "Elaya" simplifies this by providing robust genetic resistance to the most damaging soil-borne threats:

• Golden Potato Nematode (PCN);
• Common Scab;
• Potato Wart.

By investing in a variety with this profile, you reduce the necessity for heavy chemical intervention, ensuring a cleaner crop and safer land use in your crop rotation schedule.

Tubers: Quality and Processing Potential

The visual appeal of "Elaya" is a major advantage for commercial packing. The uniform oval tubers perform exceptionally well in automated sorting and washing lines. The flesh, ranging from light yellow to creamy, ensures high culinary quality that consumers expect.

Key performance indicators for your business:

• Dry Matter Content (18–19%): Provides the perfect texture for high-quality potato products.
• Starch Content (14–18%): Offers the necessary versatility for french fry production without compromising the cooking stability of table-grade tubers.
• Consistent Yields: The genetic potential of Germicopa ensures that, under proper agronomic management, the size distribution remains optimal for commercial requirements.

Choosing "Elaya" allows you to hedge your risks: if the demand for fresh table potatoes is low, the crop's technical profile remains highly attractive for processors. It is a dual-purpose variety that helps you maintain a steady profit margin throughout the season.
