Belana

Stable Yield for Long-Term Storage

The «Belana» variety from the German breeding giant Europlant Pflanzenzucht is a top-tier choice for operations focused on long-term storage and the supply of high-quality table potatoes. The main advantage of this variety lies in its uniformity and excellent tuber quality, which retains its visual appeal even after several months in storage facilities.

Agronomic Advantages

For agronomists, «Belana» is highly valued for its resilience against a wide range of soil-borne pathogens. Growing this variety significantly reduces risks in fields with a history of pressure from diseases such as:

• Rhizoctonia and root rots;
• Common scab and blackleg;
• Potato wart and potato cyst nematodes.

Due to its high resistance to late blight, the variety allows for an optimized plant protection schedule, saving costs without compromising yield quality.

Practical Application and Tuber Characteristics

Visually, «Belana» stands out with its attractive skin color, ranging from deep pink to red, making it highly desirable in retail chains. The creamy flesh and shallow eyes simplify primary processing and washing, reducing product loss on sorting lines. In intensive farming, the variety responds well to fertilization and proper irrigation, producing tubers of uniform weight and size.

This variety is ideal for farms focusing on retail supply, where the external appearance of the tuber plays a decisive role in pricing. Its disease resistance and suitability for long-term storage make «Belana» a predictable and highly profitable asset in any crop rotation program.
