Product manager Martin Pot about Levante
Product Manager Martin Pot explains the advantages of using Levante. Levante is a new potato variety for the retail market and a new member of the Next Generation range.
Background
The AR 07-3009 (Levante) is a cross between an Agrico Research parent line (AR 01-3218) and the variety Almera. Originally, as a seedling, Levante was developed as a parent line within our basic cultivation program for late blight resistance. Following good results in the trial fields, Levante underwent further testing in the variety development program, aimed at producing varieties for the supermarket sector.
Levante is a Rather floury variety, has a clear skin and is suitable for boiling, mashing and baking. Levante therefore meets the requirements of the modern consumer. This variety is suitable for organic growing, or can be produced with a reduced amount of crop protection agents.
