Smilla is an early-maturing table potato with yellow flesh and smooth yellow skin. It offers excellent table quality, good grading, and is highly resistant to PVY. Notably, it has full-spectrum nematode resistance (Ro 1, 3, 5 and Pa 2, 3). Smilla produces high tuber numbers, has medium yield, and is well-suited for ware and pre-packing markets. It shows good resistance to bruising and internal defects, making it ideal for early fresh consumption.
Special notes:
- Full-spectrum nematode resistance (Ro 1, 3, 5 and Pa 2, 3)
- Excellent table quality
- High resistance to PVY and bruising
- Suitable for early fresh market and pre-pack use
