Potato 'Solhy 019' F1

Long awaited, feared by the seed potato industry, but now unstoppable: professional potatoes grown from seed! We have been selling potatoes grown from seed for years, but they are not suitable for the professional market because it requires uniformity. After all, the tubers need to be ready for harvest at the same time and have the same reliable characteristics. They are therefore comparable to the varieties you buy in tuber form.

Thanks to increasing knowledge of potato breeding, it has been possible to better control the potato's enormous genetic variation. By developing suitable parent lines, crosses can now produce highly uniform and reliable F1 hybrids. The final product is referred to as TPS = True Potato Seeds. This development is still in its infancy, but the first promising variety is ready. The name is just not yet that 'polished', a good-sounding final name still needs to be invented for it.

I am thinking (off the top of my head) of Sol Gold, which pays tribute to the pioneering company Solynta and the beautiful and tasty golden-yellow tuber flesh that characterizes this variety.

Just a quick summary of the characteristics:

The potato gives a large yield, shortly after the early harvests, the taste of the fairly firm, golden-yellow tuber flesh is excellent and the shelf life is normal.
