Rossini
An early maincrop variety, suitable for crisps and dehydrated potato products. Its outstanding resistances against PCN Ro 1(9), Ro 3(9) as well as Pa 2(9) and Pa 3(9) make Rossini attractive for intensively farmed potato land. Next to PCN resistance, it is also resistant against potato wart disease 1. Tubers are round oval with a light yellow flesh colour. Good tolerances against bruising, blackleg and tuber blight. Irrigation is worthwile. The highest crisping quality is achieved from greentop harvesting directly from the field until December.
