It has very high fresh weight and dry matter yield potential, making it suitable for fresh market tablestock and for dehydration processing uses. Tubers are susceptible to “heat sprouting” if left in high temperature soils at, or near, maturity.
Remark: the herbicide metribuzin should not be used with this variety as it is highly susceptible to it.
