Potato variety Orlan — an ultra-early Dutch seed potato variety, maturing as early as 30-50 days after planting in the ground. The plants are upright, well-branched, reaching up to 55 centimeters in height. The tubers are uniformly round-oval in shape, with a smooth cream-colored skin and light-yellow flesh, characterized by shallow eyes and high starch and dry matter content (about 19%), which ensures excellent taste qualities. This variety is especially valued for its excellent culinary properties, allowing for the preparation of diverse dishes, including soups and purées.
The Orlan variety is distinguished by high drought resistance, making it optimal for cultivation in southern regions. Due to its early maturity and suitability for growing under plastic cover, two harvests can be obtained per season in such conditions. The potato forms the necessary number of tubers, allowing for savings on planting material through increased spacing between plants. Additionally, the variety is suitable for organic farming and demonstrates good resistance to leaf and tuber late blight, as well as to spot diseases and others, contributing to stable and high yields.
Potato Orlan has storage properties and is suitable for washing and packaging, which facilitates its marketing and transportation. The high quality of tubers and resistance to adverse conditions make this variety popular among farmers and households, particularly in southern areas, where it demonstrates maximum productivity and stable yields.
