Potato Setanta

Setanta potato is a medium-early, high-yielding variety with oval tubers, smooth red skin, and yellow flesh. This variety is distinguished by its high dry matter content, reaching up to 23%, making it particularly suitable for making French fries, chips, and processing into starch. The tubers are large and attractive, which contributes to their demand both in the market and for home use.

Setanta exhibits high resistance to various diseases, including rot, dry rot, and leaf and tuber late blight, which significantly reduces crop losses and improves quality. Additionally, the variety shows good resistance to mechanical damage during harvesting, ensuring excellent storability and the ability to be stored until April. Due to these characteristics, Setanta is suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, including Zakarpattia, central, and southern regions of Ukraine.

A notable feature of this variety is its sensitivity to the herbicide metribuzin, so its application is recommended strictly after emergence of seedlings. The variety is also suitable for organic farming, expanding its usability. Overall, Setanta is a versatile and reliable potato variety that combines high yield, disease resistance, and excellent technological qualities for culinary and industrial processing.
