The SADON potato variety is a medium-early table type with a vegetation period of 70-80 days. The plant is low, semi-erect, intermediate type, with medium-sized light-green leaves and high frequency of secondary leaflets. Flowers are medium-sized with white corollas, abundant and prolonged flowering. Tubers are large, oval-shaped, with small eyes of medium depth. Skin is yellow, strong and tough, flesh is light-yellow, giving the potato an attractive appearance and good taste. SADON potato is characterized by high productivity and marketability. The average mass of marketable tubers ranges from 104 to 152 grams, marketability is 79-87%, and the number of small tubers is minimal, ensuring uniformity of the harvest in size and shape. Yield varies from 184 to 477 centners per hectare, with maximum values reaching 533 centners per hectare, significantly exceeding the standards of some well-known varieties. Starch content in tubers is about 14.4%, and storability reaches 93%, allowing the product to retain quality for a long time after harvest. The variety exhibits high resistance to a number of common diseases and pests. It is resistant to potato cyst nematode, potato virus Y (PVY), leaf curl (PLRV), and potato virus Y (PVY). According to research data, the variety shows moderate resistance to late blight on foliage and susceptibility on tubers. Thanks to these characteristics, SADON is a reliable choice for cultivation in various regions, ensuring a stable and high-quality harvest.
