The Jenechka variety is characterized by high yield, ranging from 248 to 342 centners per hectare, with maximum yields up to 560 centners per hectare, significantly exceeding the yields of some standard varieties. It has good storability — about 92% — ensuring prolonged storage of tubers without quality loss. The potato is resistant to several diseases, including potato cancer, golden potato cyst nematode, viruses Y and A, blossom and tuber late blight, rizoctonia, as well as common and silver scab. Additionally, the variety demonstrates drought resistance and moderate resistance to late blight, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions.

The Jenechka potato is valued for its attractive tuber appearance, high storability, and excellent taste qualities, making it an excellent choice for both home use and commercial cultivation.
