LUKAS

Lukas is a medium early starch variety, which is ideal for green-top harvest and early deliveries. Due to its pronounced dormancy and resistance against tuber rots, it is also suitable for bulk storage. Lukas is characterized by a broad resistance to PCN Ro 1 - 5 as well as Pa 2 (8) and Pa 3 (8).
