ANISSA

Anissa is a medium-maturing potato variety known for producing large, elongated oblong tubers with an attractive visual appearance. The skin and flesh are both yellow, contributing to its market appeal. It has a high dry matter content, making it ideal for frying and other processing uses where texture and color are key.

This variety develops strong, well-formed foliage that shows natural resistance to various diseases and insect pressure. It is suitable for cultivation across a wide range of climates, including Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Agronomic & Culinary Traits

Anissa has excellent storage ability and maintains low sugar levels during storage, resulting in light-colored fries and minimal blackening when cooked. It offers good internal quality with a high proportion of large, uniform tubers. The plant’s dormancy is adequate for mid- to long-term storage, and the tubers show decent resilience to mechanical impacts during harvest and handling.

In culinary use, Anissa provides a pleasant taste and texture, suitable for various household and industrial applications. Its mealy texture performs especially well for fries, baking, and mashing.

Disease & Stress Resistance

Anissa shows moderate tolerance to common scab and is relatively resilient to foliage blight. It also performs reliably against tuber blight and physiological issues like rust spots and cracking. However, it is susceptible to Ro1–4 nematodes, which should be considered when selecting production sites. The variety also offers balanced resistance to viral diseases such as PVY and leaf roll, helping maintain plant health in varied growing conditions.
