Potatoes were cultivated in the Babil Governorate of Iraq, an area known for its fertile soil and excellent agricultural produce. The planting took place on January 29, 2023, and the field day was on May 20, 2023.

These varieties were tested from the physical and chemical point of view in the Beirut Erbil laboratory for potato products, and the content of these varieties of dry matter and sugars was known.
