Savanna potato is a mid-season, high-yielding variety with a creamy-white, smooth skin and creamy flesh. Tubers mature in 50–60 days after planting, allowing for a relatively quick harvest. The tubers are oval-shaped, large, and uniform, with a dry matter content of about 20%, making them suitable for various culinary purposes. This variety is especially well-suited for making mashed potatoes, soups, and salads due to its flavor and flesh texture.
Plants of the Savanna variety feature a strong, well-developed root system that effectively absorbs water and nutrients from the soil. The plants are small, upright, and non-arching, with wide foliage that protects inter-row spaces from drying out, improving conditions for tuber growth and development. Each plant can produce up to 15 large tubers, ensuring high yield.
The variety exhibits high resistance to common potato diseases such as common scab, late blight, and rhizoctonia, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss and minimizing the need for frequent chemical treatments. Thanks to its good storage ability, Savanna potatoes retain their quality during storage, making them popular in the market and convenient for long-term use.
