Description
Medium-early to late variety. alent produces rather small tubers with excellent creamy flavor. Very robust even in dry growing conditions and on weaker soils. Only slightly susceptible to late blight. Its low sprouting tendency in storage makes it suitable for long-term storage. About 150 days of ripening. This variety is particularly suitable for French fries.
Non hybrid
Not frost resistant
Growing tips
Since talent has a pronounced dormancy and late set tubers, it should be pre-sprouted before planting or at least warm up for a day.
