Potato LUSA

The potato variety Lusa is a high-yielding medium-early variety with a vegetation period of 90 to 100 days, allowing for optimal tuber maturity. This variety features strong early growth energy and can form 9 to 11 large, uniform, elongated or round-oval tubers per plant. The tuber skin is red with shallow eyes, providing a smooth surface, and the flesh is light yellow. The starch content in the tubers is approximately 19.2%, contributing to excellent taste and versatility in culinary applications.

Lusa exhibits high drought and heat tolerance, making it ideal for cultivation in southern regions. The variety shows good adaptability to various soil types and demonstrates high resistance to nematodes RO1 and 4, viral diseases, and tuber late blight. However, it is relatively sensitive to common scab and leaf late blight, requiring attention during agronomic practices. This potato variety is well-suited for transport and retains its market quality during transit.

The Lusa variety is primarily intended for table use due to its outstanding taste, comparable to potatoes cooked with oil. It is suitable for any culinary preparation and can be stored for an extended period without quality loss. Due to its combination of high yield, resilience to adverse conditions, and excellent taste, Lusa is a reliable choice for farmers and potato growers.
