The 'Arielle' potato is an early-maturing variety developed in the Netherlands by crossing 'Nicola' with AR 73-21-27. It features light beige skin and light yellow flesh, with oval-shaped tubers and shallow eyes. Known for its firm cooking quality, 'Arielle' is versatile in culinary applications. However, it has a short dormancy period, necessitating careful storage to prevent premature sprouting. Additionally, 'Arielle' is susceptible to late blight, so proactive disease management is essential during cultivation.
