Red Lady

Why Red Lady is a Pro Choice

German breeding from Solana has long been synonymous with stability, and the Red Lady potato variety is a prime example. In volatile climate conditions, this table potato demonstrates a rare ability to maintain marketability and culinary quality, making it a favorite for both commercial farms and retail chains.

Key Field Advantages

The main advantage of Red Lady lies in the synergy between high yield potential and exceptional disease resistance. Solana breeders have instilled a robust immune system into the variety's genome: it shows strong resistance to Rhizoctonia, late blight, blackleg, and potato cyst nematodes. This significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications and minimizes the risk of crop loss during challenging growing seasons.

Commercial Crop Characteristics

• Visual Appeal: The tubers feature an attractive long-oval shape with bright red skin and yellow flesh. Shallow eyes make cleaning and sorting effortless.
• Consistency: Tuber weight ranges between 50 and 130 grams, ensuring a high yield of marketable fractions.
• Culinary Quality: With a starch content of 12–16%, the variety is perfect for cooking — it holds its shape well when boiled and does not darken.

Who is this variety for?

Red Lady is an optimal choice for producers focused on the fresh market. With a growing cycle of 75–85 days, it allows for flexible harvest planning, whether for early supply or long-term storage. The variety is forgiving of minor agricultural mistakes and shows high adaptability across various soil types. It is a balanced solution for those seeking predictable results and reliability in the field.
