Potato Fantasy

Stable Yields in Challenging Farming Conditions

The «Fantaziya» variety, developed by the Institute of Potato Research of the NAAS, is designed for farms prioritizing high-quality table potatoes with superior taste. With a growing season of 95–105 days, it allows producers to schedule harvests for the second half of the season, effectively mitigating risks associated with early summer droughts.

Agrotechnical Advantages

The practical value of «Fantaziya» lies in its multi-layered resistance to primary soil pathogens. For agronomists, this translates into reduced fungicide costs for rot prevention and savings on chemical treatments against nematodes.

• Disease Protection: Genetic resistance to the golden potato cyst nematode and potato wart makes this variety an excellent choice for fields with intensive crop rotation cycles.
• Harvesting Efficiency: The oval, smooth tubers with pink skin detach easily from stolons, simplifying mechanical harvesting and minimizing physical damage.

Market-Ready Quality

With a starch content of 17–18%, the variety offers excellent boiling properties and taste ratings of 4.5 points. The white flesh does not darken after cooking, making it highly desirable for retail and the HoReCa sector. Furthermore, its strong resistance to late blight ensures that the haulms remain healthy longer, facilitating optimal tuber development even during periods of high humidity.
