The strong
variety portfolio
of Agrico
Stronger by Nature
Developed through natural breeding to deliver varieties with high yields and premium quality. This contributes to income security and food security. With a clear focus on:
Nematode resistance
Healthy soils, strong plants, reliable yields
For sustainable soil management, nematode resistance is essential. It’s not only about organic matter and water retention, but also about keeping fields free from disease. As professional potato cultivation becomes concentrated in specific areas with more intensive rotations, strong nematode resistance is crucial. Protecting the soil ensures reliable yields and long-term, sustainable potato cultivation.
Virus resistance
Genetic strength for reliable quality with less input
Producing the healthiest possible seed potatoes with minimal crop protection starts with strong virus resistance. Strong virus resistance reduces the need for crop protection products and keeps the risk of infection as low as possible. It’s a forward-looking way to protect both your crop and the environment while securing a high yield and reliable quality.
Excellent storability
Strong potatoes with excellent storability to secure quality and availability
Good storability keeps your potatoes available all year while maintaining top quality. It extends delivery periods, reduces storage costs and ensures reliable supply. Good storability also means fewer storage losses, which ultimately reduces yield loss and results in a better return.
Natural late blight resistance
Next Generation: the best defence against late blight
Our Next Generation potato varieties have natural late blight resistance (caused by Phytophthora infestans). This keeps our potatoes free from late blight for a longer period after planting, contributing to yield security. Plus it helps save crop protection products.
Natural crossbreeding methods
Stronger by Nature perfectly captures what Agrico stands for: drawing strength from nature itself. Through Agrico Research, we develop varieties that are naturally resilient and future-proof, thanks to their genetic traits. Our breeding is based on natural, crossbreeding methods, resulting in varieties equipped to meet the challenges of both today and tomorrow.
Alongside our strong Next Generation portfolio, renowned for its outstanding late blight resistance, Agrico also offers varieties that excel in other areas. Through natural crossbreeding, we develop potatoes with robust, intrinsic disease resistance, low input requirements, and high yields.
Our portfolio provides certainty where it matters most: yield, quality, and profitability. Whether it’s resistance to nematodes and viruses, or excellent storability, Agrico always offers the right variety for every growing condition.
With Stronger by Nature, we demonstrate not only the power of our genetics, but also the versatility of our portfolio. Each of our varieties contributes in its own way to a healthy, profitable, and sustainable potato crop.
