Tarzan
A medium late starch variety with high to very high starch yields, characterized by high tuber numbers and uniform tubers. Despite the maturity group, Tarzan has a rapid and steady youth development. Strong against second growth. Suitable for bulk storage due to low susceptibilty for fusarium. Resistances against PCN Ro 1, 3, 5 and PVY are to be highlighted. Also resistant to potato wart disease 1.
