Kobza potato variety belongs to early-maturing and universal types, suitable for cultivation in all zones. Tubers have a short-oval shape, white color with smooth skin and few small eyes. The flesh is creamy, non-mushy, retains its properties and does not change color after culinary processing, making this variety especially attractive for various cooking methods. Taste qualities are highly rated, confirming its versatility in cuisine.
Starch content in tubers ranges from 17.1 to 18.7%, ensuring good texture and flavor. The variety has high yield: tubers are large, uniform, with an average mass of 70 to 130 grams. The variety is characterized by rapid tuber development in early maturation stages and a short dormancy period, simplifying pre-planting seed material preparation since tuber warming is not required.
Kobza exhibits resistance to several diseases, including cancer, stem nematode, fusarium, and common scab, as well as relative resistance to ring rot and late blight. However, the variety may be susceptible to viruses. For successful cultivation, use fertile soils and apply fertilizers with reduced nitrogen by 30% and increased potassium levels. High yield and disease resistance make Kobza a profitable choice for farmers aiming to obtain quality and flavorful potatoes.
