Simple Red

German Breeding for an Impeccable Harvest

"Simply Red" is a mid-late table potato variety from KWS experts, embodying European standards of quality and resilience. A growing period of 105–115 days allows the crop to accumulate maximum nutrients and develop commercial-grade, visually appealing tubers, making it a favorite among both farmers and retailers.

Agronomic Potential and Defense

The main feature of this hybrid is its "armor" against soil-borne pathogens. Potato cultivation is often hindered by nematode threats, but "Simply Red" successfully resists golden potato nematodes. Furthermore, KWS breeding ensures high tolerance to:

• Common scab;
• Potato wart disease;
• Root-knot nematodes.

This reduces the need for intensive chemical treatment, which is a crucial advantage for growers focused on environmentally sustainable production.

Appearance and Culinary Properties

"Simply Red" tubers boast an ideal elongated-oval shape, facilitating both automated peeling and mechanized harvesting. The smooth red skin contrasts with a rich yellow flesh. Shallow eyes minimize waste during processing, a trait highly valued by both households and food processors. Due to its texture, the variety performs exceptionally well when boiled or fried, holding its shape and delivering excellent flavor.
