The Sommergold potato variety is known for its high yield and disease resistance. It is a mid-early variety, typically requiring about 120 to 130 days from planting to harvest. The tubers are oval-round with light yellow flesh and smooth, netted skin.
Sommergold is predominantly waxy (Type B), making it ideal for salads and other dishes where the potato should retain its shape. It offers very high resistance to Potato Virus Y (PVY) and Potato Leaf Roll Virus (PLRV).
These attributes make Sommergold a reliable choice for farmers seeking a disease-resistant, high-yielding variety with excellent cooking qualities.
