Sifra

The Sifra potato variety is a medium-late table variety of Dutch origin, distinguished by high yield and excellent taste qualities. The tubers of this variety have a round-oval shape, smooth light-yellow skin, and white flesh that does not break down and has a rich, slightly sweet flavor without dryness or watery consistency. The average weight of the tuber ranges from 100 to 150 grams, and the number of tubers per plant varies from 9 to 15. The period from emergence to technical maturity ranges from 95 to 140 days, allowing for harvest at optimal times.

The Sifra variety is characterized by high resistance to mechanical damage, ensuring excellent storage and transportability over long distances. The tuber storage capacity reaches 94%, allowing for prolonged retention of both commercial and taste qualities after harvest. The potato exhibits good drought tolerance and strong immunity to a range of diseases and pests, including potato blight, golden nematode, scab, and viral diseases, making it a reliable choice for cultivation both in private gardens and on an industrial scale.

Due to its balanced starch content (11% to 16.9%) and excellent table qualities, the Sifra variety is suitable for various preparation methods: boiling, frying, baking, and making smooth, lump-free mashed potatoes. This potato is also recommended for children's and dietary nutrition due to its low calorie content and high vitamin and nutrient content. Overall, Sifra combines high yield, attractive appearance, and versatility in use, making it a popular choice among farmers and consumers.
