Product manager Douwe Werkman about Rudolph
Our product manager Douwe Werkman tells you more about the Rudolph. This variety can be succesfully grown in difficult growing conditions due to his good heat tolerance.
Background
Rudolph “the red-nosed reindeer” – who doesn't know him? Now not only the best-known reindeer on earth, but also a red-skinned Agrico potato variety. The potato has a red skin with deep red eyes, combined with the American white flesh color. This variety occupies a special position in the supply for the red-skinned market.
The parentage of the Rudolph variety is actually a little uncertain as the British breeder did not properly document all of the relevant parentage data. It is assumed that Rudolph is a cross between Chieftain and Stirling, but this is far from certain. In any case, the breed does display some resistance to late blight.
